Overview for Racers

The Tamiya 15396 Small Diameter Offset Tread Tires are aimed at Mini 4WD hobbyists wanting flexible tyre setup options. Their offset tread design lets you change the contact patch to suit different corner profiles and race lines.

Compatibility and Size

This pack includes four tyres compatible with small-diameter Mini 4WD wheels. They measure 24.2mm across, matching the common Mini 4WD Pro wheel size so they mount cleanly on most small-wheel hubs. The offset tread provides room to alter tyre stance for narrow or broader set-ups.

Race Behaviour

The offset tread offers two tuning directions. A slimmed tread position favours higher straight-line speed, while a wider setting increases lateral support for tighter turns. Pick the offset that complements your motor, gearing and track layout.

Setup Notes

  • Narrow setting: Favors straight runs and reduces rolling resistance, with less corner bite.
  • Wide setting: Adds cornering confidence but can shave a little off top speed.
They perform well on typical Mini 4WD surfaces. Use the narrow offset for smooth plastic straights and the wide offset for improved bite on twisty sections or grippier carpet.
If your rims accept 24.2mm diameter tyres and are designed for small Mini 4WD wheels, these will fit. Check rim width and hub fit before final assembly.
Light running on a practice lap will help settle the tyres. Alternate offsets during testing to compare handling and record lap times to find the best configuration.
