These front tires are an RC-scale replacement intended for the Associated RC 18T platform. The item is a narrow radial rubber tire supplied with a 30g foam insert to stabilize the tyre profile and support predictable steering response at the front axle.
The design purpose is clear: fit the front position of the Associated RC 18T chassis and provide a narrower contact patch for increased steering precision in typical on-road or short-track sprint layouts. Rubber compound and radial construction emphasize consistent traction and repeatable feedback when tuning steering geometry and toe settings.
Installation notes: mount the tire onto the correct Associated RC 18T front rim, seat the 30g insert centrally, and glue or secure per your wheel assembly practice. Check bead seating and balance after mounting, and re-check after the first few runs to confirm insert placement.
Tuning role: use these narrow radial fronts when you want crisper turn-in and reduced tramlining on tight circuits, or when testing small incremental changes to front toe and camber without altering rear grip significantly.
