Mini-Z KSP Compound RCP Snakeskin 11mm Tire 35° (2pcs)

The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: The Perfect Balance of Grip and Corner Speed! If you want to drop your lap times on the 1/28 scale RCP track without risking a traction roll, tire selection is everything. The staff at Hobby Hideaway highly recommends the KSP Compound Snakeskin tires in the 35-degree compound for racers looking for the ultimate sweet spot. Designed specifically for the high-grip foam surface of indoor RCP tracks, these 11mm wide rear tires in a 35-degree hardness provide fantastic forward punch while freeing up the rear end just enough to maintain incredibly fast, smooth cornering speeds.

Advanced KSP Compound & Snakeskin Tread What makes these tires an absolute must-have for indoor racers is the unique snakeskin tread pattern combined with the proprietary KSP rubber compound. Fresh out of the package, the textured snakeskin surface provides immediate bite and requires significantly less break-in time compared to standard slick tires. The 35-degree compound is slightly harder than the 30-degree, making it the ideal choice for high-bite track conditions where a softer tire might cause the chassis to flip or "chatter" through tight sweepers. It delivers consistent, fade-free grip heat after heat with excellent tire life!

Key Features & Technical Specs:

• RCP Optimized: Formulated with the premium KSP rubber compound explicitly designed to maximize performance on indoor RCP foam track surfaces.

• 11mm Wide Profile: The 11mm width is designed exclusively for rear wheels, providing a massive contact patch for ultimate straight-line acceleration.

• 35-Degree Hardness: The medium-soft 35-degree shore rating balances high-speed rear traction perfectly while helping to prevent traction rolls on ultra-high-grip layouts.

• Snakeskin Tread Pattern: Features a unique textured surface that provides immediate grip right out of the package and significantly reduces tire break-in time.

• Consistent Performance: The specialized rubber formula resists overheating and "glazing" during long mains, ensuring incredible durability and consistent lap times.

• Race Ready: Includes two (2) 11mm wide tires, perfect for equipping the rear of your 1/28 scale MR-03, MR-04, or custom pan car chassis.

Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: Because the 35-degree compound offers slightly less extreme side-bite than the softer 30-degree version, it is the absolute best choice when your track's grip levels naturally increase after a full day of racing! If you notice your car starting to traction roll or "hop" in the corners late in the race day, swapping your rear tires from 30s to these 35s will instantly smooth out your chassis and keep your car planted flat. Always keep a set of both compounds in your pit box so you can adapt as the track evolves! And remember, always secure them to your rims with thin double-sided tire tape.
