Simple Tread Adjustment for Mini 4WD Performance

The Tamiya 15397 JR Low-Profile Offset Tread Tires are built to give Mini 4WD drivers a simple way to modify handling. Changing the tread width helps you prioritise either straight-line stability or cornering grip depending on the course.

Performance Notes and Compatibility

  • Adjustable Tread Width: The tires can be set to narrow (53.4mm) or wide (63.4mm) configurations, allowing up to a 10mm variance in total tread width.
  • Performance Impact: Narrow treads enhance stability in straight lines but reduce cornering traction, while wide treads improve cornering grip at the expense of straight-line stability.
  • Compatibility: Ideal for Mini 4WDs utilizing low-height wheels, specifically compatible with Tamiya items 15358 and 15359.

Tuning Advice for Race Day

These offset tread tyres are a handy tool for drivers refining setups before a heat. Use them to experiment with grip balance and track-specific strategies to find a reliable configuration.

Ordered quite a lot of stuff from these guys & the packaging & condition of the items delivered was excellent. The service is second to none & I will definitely buy from these again.
Top speed is mostly unchanged, but narrow setups can feel smoother on long straights while wider settings may slow straight-line pace slightly due to increased rolling resistance.
Mixing is possible if the wheel dimensions match the low-height specification. Ensure correct rim seating and alignment when combining different wheel types.
They are suitable for regular use, though you should monitor wear when running wide settings in abrasive conditions and replace when tread becomes uneven.
