Improve 1/10 On-Road Tire Support with Tamiya Hard Inner Sponge

The Tamiya 53156 Hard Inner Sponge OP-156 is a straightforward upgrade for RC drivers who want firmer tire support and more predictable handling in 1/10 on-road rigs. The hard sponge sits inside the tire to reduce deformation at speed, helping your tyres hold their shape through corners and straights.

Benefits of the Tamiya 53156 Hard Inner Sponge

With higher rigidity than standard foam, this inner sponge helps maintain a consistent contact patch and reduces tyre squirm under load. That stability can translate to cleaner turns and steadier lap times for racers and club drivers alike.

Fitment and Quick Installation

This inner sponge fits a broad range of 1/10 on-road tyre designs and installs without major tyre surgery. Most hobbyists can fit the sponge with basic tools and a little patience, making it an easy performance tweak.

Best prices around. Everything is well packaged and quick postage.
The Tamiya hard inner sponge offers more rigidity, which can work for some drift tyres to reduce deformation. However, drift setups often prefer softer or specialised inserts for controlled slip, so test on your wheels first.
By keeping the tyre carcass more stable, the inner sponge can reduce uneven wear from sidewall flex. Proper tyre choice and camber settings still have the biggest impact on longevity.
Soak the tyre bead in warm water or use a mild soap solution to ease the sponge in. Work slowly and rotate the sponge as you insert it to avoid pinching the tyre bead.
