Mini-Z KS-M Compound RCP Low Profile Slick 8.5mm Tire Soft 34° (2 pcs.)

The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Instant Grip for Cold Tracks and Quick Starts! When the race starts, you don't always have time to wait for your tires to come up to temperature. That’s where the PN Racing KS-M compound shines. Designed specifically for RCP tracks, the "M" in KS-M stands for a compound that warms up rapidly, providing high traction from the very first lap. At Hobby Hideaway, we highly recommend these 34-degree soft tires for racers in Canada or anyone running in cooler track environments where traditional tires might feel "slick" during the opening minutes of a main.

Low Profile Performance for Superior Handling These tires feature a modern low-profile design with a thickness of just 1.6mm. When mounted on standard 20mm rims, they produce a total diameter of 23.2mm. This lower sidewall height reduces "tire roll" in high-speed corners, providing a more direct steering feel and increased stability. Whether you are running in a stock class or a high-powered modified division, the KS-M 34° Soft tire offers the predictable side-bite you need to stay on your line.

Key Features & Technical Specs:

• KS-M Compound: Engineered for quick warm-up and immediate grip, even on cold tracks.

• Soft 34° Rating: Provides a versatile balance of high traction and durability for front-end steering.

• Low Profile Design: 1.6mm thickness minimizes sidewall flex for more precise cornering.

• Optimal Dimensions: 8.5mm width; results in a 23.2mm total diameter when used with 20mm rims.

• Easy Break-In: For stock classes, these tires are ready after just one battery pack. Advanced racers only need to true 0.1mm–0.2mm of the surface.

• RCP Optimized: Specifically formulated for maximum performance on standard RCP track surfaces.

Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: If you find your car is "traction rolling" (tipping over) in high-speed turns, try applying a small amount of thin CA glue to the outer sidewall of these tires. This stiffens the edge and prevents the tire from digging in too hard, allowing you to maintain speed without the risk of flipping.
