Intro to Tamiya 95542 large diameter slick tyres

The Tamiya 95542 large diameter low friction slick tires are aimed at Mini 4WD racers who need predictable handling on technical tracks. The maroon low-friction compound reduces traction to help cars cut corners more efficiently and handle elevation changes with fewer disruptions.

How they work and what fits

These tyres are made for Mini 4WD PRO and other Mini 4WD platforms that take larger-diameter wheels. The compound lowers rolling resistance so racers can keep speed through bends while preserving straight-line stability. Be aware some bodies may need minor trimming to clear the larger tyre size.

Performance advantages on track

Fitting these slicks often improves responsiveness in tight sections and can reduce airtime on jumps, which helps maintain momentum across a run and improves consistency in heats.

They can, particularly on twisty layouts where better cornering flow beats outright grip. Proper setup and practice are still required to see time gains.
Often no major gearing change is needed, but you may want to fine tune gear ratios to match reduced rolling resistance and the new cornering profile.
Wipe away dust before events, avoid oily cleaners, and swap tyres when you notice flat spots or compound glazing from heavy use.
