Track-Ready Premounted FD2 Wheels

The Kyosho FATH710BKD set comprises two FD2 drift tyres preinstalled on black 8-spoke Watanabe-style wheels, supplied as a 2-piece kit for 1/10 on-road drifting. This configuration provides a convenient, ready-to-use option for drivers focused on setup and tuning.

Fitting the wheels is done with standard procedures: remove wheel nuts, place the wheel on the hub, and fasten using your car's existing hardware. Double-check wheel hex fitment and that the wheel offset leaves adequate clearance for suspension travel and body mounts.

In use, these premounted FD2 tyres are a tuning tool — they affect breakaway thresholds and the manner of slide. Experiment with front toe, rear toe, shock rates, and weight bias to match the tyre characteristics. Balancing and ensuring minimal runout will help maintain consistent drift performance.

Care involves routine inspection after sessions, cleaning rubber contact surfaces if you detect grip shifts, and securing wheel nuts to avoid loosening. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or heat sources to help preserve tyre compound life.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Kyosho items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

What setup changes should I try with these tyres?

Start by adjusting steering angle and rear toe. Small increments to shock damping and roll center can dramatically alter how the FD2 tyres break traction.

Are wheel balance checks important for drifting?

Yes. Unbalanced wheels can cause inconsistent slides. Spin-balance the wheels and check for runout to keep drift lines predictable.

Any advice for matching tyre wear across an axle?

Rotate tyres when you notice uneven wear patterns and tweak suspension preload or camber to even out contact patches across sessions.

Quick checks before a run?

Inspect tyre surface for damage, confirm wheel nuts are tight, and perform a short test to ensure runout and balance are acceptable.
