Dimensions and Axle Compatibility
Each tire has an outer diameter of 115mm (about 4.49 inches) and a thickness of 35mm (1.37 inches). The axle hole diameter is 5.5mm. Before purchasing, measure your vehicle's axle to ensure a proper fit. The compact size works well on tail wheels, main landing gear, and even some RC car applications.
Materials and Build
The tire's outer ring is crafted from PU sponge, a material chosen for its low weight and flexibility. PU sponge provides good grip on various surfaces while keeping the overall rotating mass low—helpful for RC planes that need to minimize weight for better flight performance. The hub is made of plastic, which offers sufficient strength for typical landing impacts and reduces cost compared to metal hubs. The tread pattern is designed to be anti-skid and wear-resistant, providing better traction and stability during takeoffs and landings.
What's in the Box
- 2 x PU sponge tires with plastic hubs (tire and hub pre-assembled)
Each tire comes with the hub already installed, so you can mount them directly onto your vehicle's axle. No additional assembly is required beyond securing the wheel to your vehicle.
