This rear radial tyre is a like-for-like replacement intended for Team Associated RC18T rear fitments, sold under model AR899R40G. The tyre combines a standard rubber compound with a 40 degree insert to maintain the correct profile and sidewall support for RC18T rear mounting.
To install on compatible RC18T rims: remove the old tyre, sit the new tyre onto the rim bead, align the insert to set sidewall stiffness, then trim or tuck the excess bead material as required. No specialist tools are required beyond tyre levers and a hobby knife for fine trimming.
As a tuning component this tyre lets you alter rear behaviour: the 40 degree insert helps the tyre keep its shape under cornering loads, which affects rear grip and rotational response. Use it in combination with compound selection and suspension adjustments when refining balance on carpet or compact surfaces.
