Purpose-built front tyres intended as an aftermarket replacement for the Associated RC 18T platform. The narrow radial geometry and rubber compound are paired with a 30g foam insert to stabilise the tyre cross-section and provide consistent steering feedback under load.
Intended fitment is the front position of the Associated RC 18T chassis; the reduced contact patch offers higher steering precision for on-road and short-course sprint setups. The radial construction supports repeatable traction characteristics useful when tuning toe and steering Ackermann settings.
Assembly notes: mount on the designated Associated RC 18T front rim, centre the 30g foam insert, and apply tyre adhesive as per standard wheel assembly practices. Verify bead seating and dynamic balance after mounting, and re-check insert alignment after initial running.
Performance tuning: these narrow front radials are suitable when targeting sharper initial turn-in and reduced tramlining on tighter circuits, or when performing iterative front-end adjustments without materially changing rear traction.
