Key Features

• Advanced X2S³ Compound — RC4WD's proprietary X2S³ rubber compound is engineered to provide consistent grip across multiple surfaces including rock, mud and snow, ensuring your micro or 1/18 scale build maintains traction in diverse terrain conditions without sacrificing durability or tyre lifespan.
• Officially Licensed Interco Design — These tyres are authentically licensed from Interco Tire Company, ensuring you get the genuine Super Swamper TSL Thornbird tread pattern and design philosophy that makes these tyres legendary in the real-world off-road community, now scaled down for precise RC performance.
• Matched Foam Inserts Included — Each set includes two matched foam inserts specifically engineered to work with the Thornbird tyre profile, providing precise support and optimal deformation characteristics for improved handling, better contact patch management and superior performance on uneven terrain.
• 1.0" Scale Compatibility — Designed exclusively to fit 1.0" wheels, these tyres are engineered for micro and 1/18 scale RC builds where precision fitment and authentic proportioning are essential to achieving realistic performance and appearance.
• Lightweight Construction — At just 0.35 ounces (10.1 grams) per tyre, these micro-scale tyres are optimised for minimal unsprung weight, improving acceleration, braking response and overall handling characteristics on your small-scale RC vehicle.
• Authentic Scale Proportions — With an outer diameter of 1.90 inches (48.5mm), width of 0.87 inches (22.1mm) and inner diameter of 0.95 inches (24.2mm), these tyres deliver authentic proportions that enhance the visual realism of scale-correct builds whilst maintaining practical performance.

Technical Performance

The RC4WD Interco Super Swamper TSL Thornbird 1.0" tyres represent a masterclass in micro-scale tyre engineering, combining real-world Interco tyre technology with RC4WD's advanced compound chemistry to deliver genuine all-terrain capability in a package weighing just 10.1 grams per tyre. The advanced X2S³ compound has been specifically formulated to provide reliable grip across rocks, mud and snow whilst maintaining durability through extended use on harsh terrain. The 1.90-inch outer diameter and 0.87-inch width create a contact patch engineered for optimal weight distribution across small-scale chassis, whilst the 0.95-inch inner diameter ensures positive fitment on 1.0" wheels without excessive sidewall movement. The inclusion of matched foam inserts is critical to micro-scale performance, as these components manage tyre deformation, maintain precise contact patch shape and improve overall suspension responsiveness. Construction quality reflects RC4WD's attention to detail, with consistent tread depth and rubber density throughout the tyre ensuring predictable handling across varying surfaces and temperatures. These tyres are engineered specifically to work with RC4WD's 1.0" wheel range, including the RC4WD Competition Beadlock Wheels, though fitment with third-party wheels may vary due to differing design methodologies across manufacturers. For complete vehicles, two sets of these tyres are required, allowing you to build a fully equipped micro or 1/18 scale RC crawler, truck or trail runner.
