Grip-Focused Design from Tamiya 54994

Built for 1/10 scale on-road competition, the Tamiya 54994 Reinforced Racing Tires use a soft rubber formula and 24mm section to boost traction on cooler circuits. These tyres give drivers a reliable contact patch when ambient and surface temperatures fall.

Belted Construction for Control

The integrated cloth belt in the Tamiya 54994 helps keep the tyre profile stable at higher speeds, reducing distortion and allowing smoother steering inputs through corners. That reinforcement supports controllable handling during close racing.

Operating Range and Foam Advice

Optimal on road surfaces between 8 to 25 C (46-77 F). For finer setup tuning, try Tamiya 53434 Medium-Narrow Soft Inner Foams on twisty tracks or 53435 Medium-Narrow Hard Inner Foams on more open, fast circuits.

Are these tyres suitable for carpet and smooth asphalt?

Yes, the soft compound performs well on carpet and smooth asphalt when temperatures are in the recommended range, giving good mechanical grip for touring setups.

Can I run these tyres without inner foams?

You can run them foamless for a softer feel, but inner foams like 53434 or 53435 help control sidewall flex and fine tune handling for racing.

How should I mount and balance these tyres?

Mount them carefully to avoid pinching the bead, use matching rims, and check for even seating. Light balancing can reduce vibrations at speed.

Do these tyres need a breaking-in period?

A few warmup laps help the compound settle in; avoid aggressive driving on cold tyres to prevent accelerated wear or grip inconsistency.
