These Mini-Z scale radial tires are produced by GPM for Kyosho Mini-Z AWD applications, carrying the Shape-d 25 degree profile in a rubber compound suited to low- to medium-speed track use. They are intended as direct-fit replacements for Mini-Z AWD wheel setups, focusing on predictable steering response and consistent edge grip rather than high-speed endurance.
Installation is straightforward for standard Mini-Z AWD wheels: remove the worn tires from the rims and mount the replacement tires evenly, checking for concentric fit on the wheel. No special tools are required beyond common hobby hand tools, and routine balancing or trimming can improve traceability on narrow Mini-Z rims.
Tuning notes: a 25° Shape-d profile shifts contact patch characteristics toward a smoother initial bite and more progressive breakaway, which helps when dialling in understeer/oversteer balance on MR-03 AWD platforms. Pair these tires with appropriate foam inserts or slight changes to wheel offset and sprung weight to refine turn-in and mid-corner behaviour.
