Classic rib-spike feel updated for modern 2WD setups

The Tamiya 54896 2WD Rib-Spike Front Tires bring back the Super Astute style tread in a re-release aimed at drivers who want predictable steering on natural surfaces. These tyres are made to help control the front end when running on grass parks and soft dirt circuits.

Two-row spikes plus rib for balanced grip

The tread uses two concentric rows of round spikes combined with a central rib to produce steady cornering traction while retaining enough feedback for precise steering. This pattern gives a useful compromise between bite and stability across varied off-road tracks.

Where these tyres fit

These front tyres fit wheels that correspond to Item 54680 and are compatible with common 2WD buggies such as the DT-02 and DT-03. They are a versatile option for those updating the front end of a stock or lightly-modified buggy.

They are designed to mount on wheels matching Item 54680. Confirm your wheel rim diameter and width match that wheel spec before fitting.
On damp grass the central rib helps tracking but overall grip will be reduced versus dry turf. Adjust driving style and tyre pressure if you can to maintain control.
Front foam inserts can improve feel but are not strictly required. Many users run thin or no inserts up front and rely on tyre choice plus suspension setup for steering precision.
Yes. Using a quality tyre adhesive to bond the tyre to the rim is recommended for consistent performance and to prevent slippage under load.
