Improve F104 Cornering with Tamiya 54199 Soft Rear Tyres

For racers tackling cold track days, the Tamiya 54199 soft rear rubber tyres are a practical upgrade for F104 cars. They deliver added rear traction and crisper steering behaviour when temperatures drop.

Core Features of the Tamiya 54199 Tyres

  • Soft Compound: Specifically tuned to keep adhesion steady in cooler racing conditions.
  • Compatibility: Designed to work with the Tamiya 51398 F104 Mesh Wheel Set for Rubber Tires.
  • Dimensions: Rear tyre measures 35mm across and has a 64mm diameter.

How These Tyres Affect F104 Handling

Using Tamiya 54199 on the rear with the stock front tyres (item 51399) will typically increase steering response and lean the car toward mild oversteer. That balance helps navigate cooler tracks where front grip is limited.

I have been very very pleased with my purchase of an extensive package of a Tamiya 1:14 Truck and Trailer, and many extra needed products to go with it. RCJaz had all the products I needed, yes it is easier buying from just one seller. And their prices

Tamiya 56535 - Trop.35 Aluminum Coupler Lever Plate for Tractor Truck. Good service, Fast shipping, and you had the part
They are softer than standard rear tyres, so you will notice a shift toward more rear bite and increased steering feel, especially on cooler tracks.
The tyres are intended for use with the 51398 mesh wheel set. Using different wheels can alter fit and performance, so the 51398 set is recommended.
Check tyre fit and warming procedures rather than pressure for these rubber tyres. A brief warm-up run and cleaning the contact patch will help them settle in for better grip.
