These are GPM replacement crawler tires designed for small-scale trail rigs. The compound is a soft 25-degree rubber formulated for higher traction on technical surfaces, paired with a foam insert to support sidewall stability and preserve tire shape under load. The tires are intended strictly for RC model use at the 1/24 scale.
Construction uses butyl rubber rather than softer plastic blends like TPU or TPR, and the internal reinforcement aims to resist tearing during aggressive articulation. The foam insert is standard-fit for this tire profile, sized to stabilize the tread without making the bead overly loose on common 1.0-inch rims.
Installation is straightforward: the tires are sized to clamp onto narrow 1-inch wheel rims, with a long clamping tongue on the wheel seat and longer fixing screws recommended to secure the assembly without excess play. The clamp-style fit reduces the chance of the tire sliding on the rim while allowing single-handed compression during mounting.
Practical tuning notes: choose a slightly firmer insert if you want less squirm on flatter rock plates, or keep the supplied foam for improved bite on loose, technical trails. The profile and compound make these tires useful when upgrading from hard plastic wheels to a rubber, foam-backed setup for improved traction.
