Upgrade overview for Tamiya 15544 large diameter low-profile tyres with carbon wheels

The Tamiya 15544 package gives Mini 4WD racers a practical track upgrade that helps stabilise handling. This set pairs large diameter, low friction, low-profile tyres with stiff carbon dish wheels to cut bounce and improve line holding on technical courses.

Main advantages

Low Friction Tires: These tyres are tuned to lower rolling resistance so the front can glide through turns or the rear can reduce jump lift for more consistent landings.
Carbon Wheels: Dish-style wheels reinforced with carbon deliver increased rigidity so the wheel keeps its shape under load, helping to limit chassis movement.
Hard Tire Compound: The firm tyre compound promotes long life and steady behaviour across different track surfaces.

Fitment and practical notes

The tyre and wheel set fits Mini 4WD PRO and standard Mini 4WD models that accept large diameter tyres. Some chassis trimming or body clearance work may be required to get the best fit and handling balance.

Will these low friction tyres reduce corner grip too much?

Low friction tyres reduce lateral grip compared to standard rubber, which can be useful on tight tracks to prevent sudden snaps. Fit them front or rear based on whether you want smoother turning or softer jump behaviour.

Do the carbon dish wheels need special maintenance?

Carbon-reinforced wheels are low maintenance but check for cracks after hard impacts and ensure bearings or bushings run free to avoid binding that might mask wheel stiffness benefits.

Are chassis mods required to use these tyres?

Some chassis or body parts may need slight trimming for clearance with large-diameter tyres. Test-fit before racing and adjust guards or posts as needed for reliable rotation.
