This front tyre is a rubber slick produced for the Associated RC 18T touring chassis, supplied with an internal insert orientated at 40 degree to create a stable and repeatable contact patch. It is intended for front-end tuning where steering feel and predictable turn-in matter.
Fitment is simple on standard 18T wheels: remove the wheel, seat the insert inside the tyre ensuring the 40 degree face matches the rim profile, then evenly seat the bead before refitting. Apply standard tyre glue or retention methods and confirm bead seating before balancing the wheel.
In practical setup terms the tyre helps you fine-tune front traction for high-grip surfaces, letting you adjust handling balance by changing front profiles and insert angles rather than altering suspension geometry.
