This front tyre assembly is for the Associated RC18T platform and includes a 40 degree internal insert to control sidewall stiffness and tread conformity. It is supplied as a direct front replacement for 1/18 scale RC18T race cars and is focused on front-end setup adjustments rather than generic tyre replacement.
Installation notes: the tyre fits standard Associated RC18T front wheels and relies on the insert to stabilise tread shape and sidewall profile. Accurate seating on the rim is important; trim the bead where necessary to achieve even contact and consider adhesive bonding for wheel types that do not retain the bead reliably.
Performance role: the rubber radial construction with a 40 degree insert allows measurable changes to front compliance and contact patch geometry, letting experienced hobbyists and racers fine-tune steering response, entry behaviour, and mid-corner balance during setup sessions.
