Race Tires

RC race tires are described by their compound (softness) , tread pattern, and profile, which are chosen based on the surface, weather, and desired performance. Compounds range from soft for more grip on packed surfaces to hard for durability on carpet or in hot weather, while tread patterns vary from slick (no tread) for smooth surfaces to spiked or mini-pin for loose or bumpy terrain. Profiles are typically square for more forward traction or rounded for better cornering.
