Front radial tyre for RC18T

This is a set of front rubber standard radial tyres intended for use on Associated RC18T 1/18 on-road platforms, supplied as 1 pr with a 30 degree insert. The design focuses on predictable steering response and easy fitment to compatible wheels, serving as a direct replacement or tuning option for front-end handling adjustments.

Installation is straightforward for experienced model builders: fit the included 30 degree foam insert to the tyre interior, mount the tyre onto the matching RC18T wheel, and secure the bead as appropriate for your wheel type. Use compatible tyre glue or mounting method recommended for rubber radial tyres on 1/18 scale vehicles.

From a setup perspective these tyres are used to adjust front grip and steering feel; swapping compound, insert angle, or tyre wear can change turn-in and mid-corner behaviour. Keep setups balanced with rear traction and suspension settings to avoid oversteer or understeer in on-road configurations.

What compatibility checks should I make before fitting?

Verify wheel inner diameter and bead seat style match the tyre, and confirm the RC18T wheel offsets allow correct clearance with the suspension and body.

How does the 30 degree insert affect carcass support?

A 30 degree foam insert increases lateral carcass support, reducing deformation under load and sharpening initial turn-in characteristics without changing the tyre compound.

Any setup advice for on-road tuning?

Start with stock rear grip and adjust front tyre insert or compound in small steps; log changes to steering and mid-corner balance to converge on a neutral setup.
