Insert to Improve Tyre Contact

The Tamiya 40141 Inner Sponge Front is designed for 1/12 scale on-road cars to support the tyre sidewall and keep the tread in firm contact with the surface. That extra support helps reduce tyre roll during fast corners.

Calmer Cornering and Traction

Whether you are practising or racing, the sponge helps even out tyre contact so traction feels more consistent through bends, aiding smoother steering inputs and better exit grip.

Compatibility Notes

The sponge is compatible with many 1/12 on-road wheel setups and suits hobbyists who adjust tyre choice for different tracks. Make sure the insert seats properly inside the tyre for best results.

It fits a wide selection of 1/12 on-road wheels, though some narrow rims may require careful placement. Always check how the sponge sits inside your chosen tyre.
Warm the tyre slightly or use a small amount of soapy water to help the sponge slide in. Position it evenly before refitting the tyre to the rim.
The insert can help distribute load across the tyre and may reduce uneven wear in some setups, but regular tyre checks are still recommended after track sessions.
