This Yokomo YOKGT-39AS tyre is a 1/12-scale belted radial rubber tyre supplied as a soft compound option for the GT500 on-road platform. The belted radial construction maintains tread shape under cornering loads while the softer rubber increases mechanical grip on typical indoor and smooth outdoor track surfaces.
Compatibility and fitment are focused on GT500 1/12 on-road wheel assemblies, and the tyre is intended for standard 1/12 rims used in competitive touring and GT classes. Confirm rim profile and inner diameter before mounting to ensure proper bead seating.
Installation is straightforward for experienced modelers: the tyre is mounted on the rim and secured using common tyre glue methods suitable for foam-backed or plain rims, and balanced as required for high-speed stability. For tuning, the soft compound tends to increase front-end bite and mid-corner grip, so consider complementary setup changes to suspension, camber and toe to retain neutral steering.
The tyre's role in setup is practical: use it when increased mechanical traction is needed to improve corner exit or when track temperatures favor softer compounds, and expect faster wear compared with harder options.
