GT500 1/12 Belted Radial Tyre - Soft Compound - Yokomo YOKGT-39AS  [YOKGT-39AS]

Soft compound 1/12 GT500 belted tyre

The Yokomo YOKGT-39AS is a 1/12-scale belted radial rubber tyre offered in a soft compound for use on GT500 on-road chassis. The belted radial construction helps the tread retain shape during high cornering loads while the softer compound improves traction on smooth track surfaces.

This tyre is aimed at GT500 1/12 on-road wheel assemblies and matches standard 1/12 rim dimensions common in touring and GT categories. Confirm rim profile and internal diameter match the tyre before mount to ensure secure bead seating.

Mounting follows typical model car practice: fit the tyre onto the rim, secure with appropriate tyre glue for foam-backed or plain rims, then balance to aid high-speed stability. In setup, the increased front bite and mid-corner grip from the soft compound may require tweaks to camber, toe and suspension to keep the handling neutral.

Choose this tyre when you need added mechanical traction for corner exits or when track conditions favor softer rubber; note that wear will be higher compared with harder compounds.
