Technical front radial tyre for RC18T tuning

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.

The insert supports sidewall stiffness and keeps tread shape consistent under load, aiding repeatable front-end characteristics during tuning.
Seat the tyre evenly on the rim, rotate and inspect contact patch, then trim any excess bead to remove high spots. Use adhesive if the wheel requires permanent seating.
Run short practice stints to compare steering bite and lap-to-lap consistency, and document insert and compound choices to refine front-end setup.
