Refine Handling with Tamiya 53230 Hard Inner Sponges

For hobbyists wanting tighter handling, the Tamiya 53230 Wide Inner Sponge Set (Hard) gives firmer internal support for RC tyres. These inserts help maintain tyre shape under load and improve consistency across runs. They are a simple way to dial in handling for timed laps or practice sessions.

How Hard Inserts Improve Tyre Performance

Tyre behaviour is critical to lap consistency. Hard sponge inserts reduce sidewall flex and cut down on tyre distortion during aggressive cornering, which helps drivers maintain predictable steering. The wider insert profile supports different tyre widths and aids proper seating on the rim.

Upgrades and Care Tips

Installing the Tamiya 53230 set can also prolong tyre life by evening out pressure across the tread. They work well as part of a regular maintenance routine and are ideal for racers who swap tyres often to match track conditions.

Hard inserts perform best on smooth, high-grip surfaces where tyre deformation is most noticeable; they give more consistent response on such tracks.
Yes, careful trimming with a sharp hobby knife can tweak the fit for specific tyre or rim combinations, but trim gradually and check fit often.
These are solid sponge inserts and are intended to replace softer foams; mixing insert types inside the same tyre is not recommended for consistent handling.
Replace them when they show compression marks or lose shape after extensive use; routine inspection after racing sessions will tell you when to swap.
