Front-end traction tuned for dirt and grass

The Tamiya 54896 2WD Rib-Spike Front Tires are a re-release of the Super Astute era pattern, rebuilt to give drivers clearer front-end feedback on loose surfaces. These tyres are aimed at hobbyists wanting improved steering response and reliable performance on dirt tracks and mown grass layouts.

Hybrid tread layout for steady cornering

The design pairs two staggered rows of round spikes with a central rib to deliver a mix of bite and stability. That hybrid arrangement helps maintain predictable cornering grip while still allowing smooth steering inputs across varied off-road terrain.

Wheel compatibility and typical fits

These tyres mount to wheels that match Item 54680 and are compatible with many 2WD buggies, including DT-02 and DT-03 platforms. They are straightforward to fit and make a practical front tyre choice for stock and lightly tuned 2WD rigs.

Yes. If your buggy uses wheels associated with Item 54680, these Tamiya 54896 tyres will fit DT-02 and DT-03 style wheel hubs without modification.
The rib-spike layout excels on dirt and grass, providing a balance of cornering bite and straight-line stability on packed soil and trimmed turf.
Use proper tyre glue to secure the tyre to the rim and check wheel alignment after mounting. Choose wheel offsets that preserve steering geometry for best results.
