Mini-Z MB-010 Soft OPTIMA Tire Set (2pcs) - MBT001S by Kyosho  [KY-MBT001S]

MB-010 Soft Tire Overview

This Kyosho MBT001S pair fits Mini-Z buggy builds built on the MB-010 platform and provides a soft OPTIMA compound with internal foam backing. The construction increases contact feedback and grip without altering wheel geometry.

Installation is straightforward: mount each tire onto a compatible Mini-Z rim, seat the bead evenly, and ensure the foam insert is centred before tightening the wheel. Proper seating and light balancing help prevent hop and uneven wear on compact, technical tracks.

From a tuning perspective, the soft OPTIMA compound raises mechanical grip but will wear faster and may increase rolling resistance. Choose these tyres when corner traction on indoor carpet or short asphalt circuits is the priority, and swap to harder compounds for longer running sessions to protect tyre life.

Maintenance advice: check foam inserts for compression after several runs, rotate tyres if wear is uneven, and keep wheel hexes and mounting faces clean to avoid slippage that mimics tyre issues.

This two-piece set is a direct replacement for Mini-Z MB-010 buggy setups, suited to drivers fine-tuning low-speed traction and handling on short courses.
