Grip and Control with Tamiya 51385 F104 Rear Sponge Tires

Tamiya 51385 F104 Rear Sponge Tires are tuned to give a stickier rear end and crisper turn-in for RC F1 models. These tyres come with a 44mm inner diameter and a 35mm width to fit F104 wheel assemblies. Their softer sponge composition provides more traction than harder compounds like Option Parts Item 54168, useful for club racing and track days where added mechanical grip matters.

Are these suitable for high-speed circuits?

Yes, they work on higher speed tracks but expect different wear characteristics. Softer sponges aid cornering traction but may need more frequent replacement on abrasive surfaces.

Do I need special wheels to use them?

No specialised wheels are required beyond standard F104 compatible rims. Ensure the wheel seat and hex match the 44mm inner diameter for a secure fit.

How should I look after these tyres?

Keep them free of debris and avoid solvents. Wipe with soapy water after runs and inspect for damage; rotating tyres and checking balance will extend usable life.
