Technical Performance
The RC4WD TOYO M-55 OFF-ROAD 2.6" SCALE TYRES are engineered with serious performance in mind. Measuring 3.78 inches in outer diameter, 1.26 inches in width, and featuring a 2.67-inch inner diameter, these tyres are precisely dimensioned for optimal fitment and balance on compatible scale RC vehicles. At just 2.68 ounces per tyre (45 grams), they maintain an ideal weight distribution that won't compromise your vehicle's handling or acceleration characteristics. The advanced X2S³ compound rubber delivers multi-surface capability, whether you're driving on dirt, rocks, grass, or mixed terrain. The realistic tread pattern isn't merely cosmetic — it's engineered to channel loose material away from the contact patch and provide genuine bite on uneven surfaces. For scale RC enthusiasts, these tyres represent the intersection of authentic appearance and measurable performance improvement over basic rubber. The included foam inserts are precision-designed to work with these specific tyre dimensions, providing the correct sidewall support and ride characteristics that make the difference between adequate and exceptional handling.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these RC4WD Toyo M-55 tyres suitable for scale rock crawlers? — Yes, absolutely. These 2.6-inch scale tyres are excellent for scale crawler applications where realistic appearance meets functional off-road performance. The authentic Toyo M-55 tread pattern provides excellent bite on rocky and uneven terrain, making them ideal for scale crawling enthusiasts who want both accuracy and genuine off-road capability.
- What vehicles are these tyres compatible with? — The 2.6-inch scale sizing makes these tyres compatible with a wide range of scale RC platforms. However, RC4WD specifically designs their tyres to work optimally with RC4WD wheels and chassis. Whilst these tyres may work with other brands' wheels in some cases, RC4WD cannot guarantee compatibility with non-RC4WD products due to variations in wheel and tyre design across manufacturers. It's recommended to use these with RC4WD wheels and vehicles for guaranteed fitment and performance.
- Do I need multiple sets of these tyres for a complete vehicle? — Yes, for a complete truck you will need two sets of the Z-T0118. Each package contains a pair (two tyres), so you'll need to purchase two packages total to outfit a four-wheel vehicle.
- What makes the X2S³ compound special compared to standard RC tyres? — RC4WD's X2S³ compound is an advanced rubber formulation that provides superior grip, consistency, and durability compared to basic RC tyre rubber. This proprietary compound allows the tyres to maintain traction across varied terrain whilst resisting premature wear, giving you better performance longevity from your investment.
- Are foam inserts included? — Yes, each pair of tyres comes with foam inserts included. These inserts are essential for proper tyre mounting, sidewall support, and performance characteristics. They're ready to use — no additional purchases necessary.
- How do these compare to other 2.6-inch scale tyres? — The RC4WD TOYO M-55 OFF-ROAD tyres distinguish themselves through the authentic Toyo M-55 tread pattern design, the advanced X2S³ compound, and RC4WD's legendary quality control standards.
