Description
Rofun Slate Tires on Black Wheels with Red Bead Overview
The Rofun Slate Tires package delivers a complete mounted tire and wheel setup built for consistent traction, durability, and stable control on 1/5 scale Baja platforms. This genuine set includes two 170×80 rear tires and two 170×60 front tires mounted on reinforced black wheels with red bead rings and 24mm hex hubs for direct installation and secure drivetrain engagement. As a result, the assembly delivers predictable grip on dirt, gravel, and mixed surfaces while keeping handling stable at speed.
The Slate tread pattern supports controlled acceleration, steady cornering, and reliable braking response. In addition, the rubber compound helps resist chunking and uneven wear. Therefore, performance remains consistent during extended off-road sessions.
Tread Pattern and Surface Control – Rofun Slate Tires
Rofun Slate Tires use an off-road tread layout designed to maintain grip across loose and mixed terrain. Consequently, the tires track smoothly on dirt and gravel while improving stability under throttle. As a result, the vehicle stays more predictable through rough sections and uneven surfaces.
The reinforced carcass supports heavier 1/5 scale vehicles. At the same time, the structure limits sidewall flex. Therefore, the tires remain stable during cornering, landings, and repeated impact cycles.
Wheel Design, Bead Retention, and 24mm Hex Fitment
The black wheels use reinforced construction built to handle high rotational loads. In addition, each wheel uses a 24mm hex hub interface for standard 1/5 scale Baja drivetrains. As a result, torque transfers efficiently without slippage or hub damage during hard launches and braking.
Red bead rings clamp the tire bead firmly to the wheel. Therefore, the assembly helps prevent tire slip during aggressive driving and repeated throttle hits. Pre-mounted construction also supports consistent balance and concentric alignment. Consequently, vibration stays minimal and steering response remains controlled at speed.
Fitment and Application – Rofun Slate Tires
This tire and wheel set fits standard Baja-style hubs using 24mm hex drive systems and supports staggered 170×80 rear and 170×60 front tire sizes. Therefore, the matched four-wheel configuration promotes balanced handling and predictable tracking across rough terrain.
All current Rofun 1/5 scale platforms, including LT, Baja-style buggies, trucks, and short course models, use a 24 mm wheel hex. However, a few 4×4 models such as the D5, F5, T5, and RF5 use a shallower axle thread and will only accept wheels with thinner center hubs. To run standard Baja-style wheels on these models, different wheel hubs must be installed.
Direct installation requires no modification when used on compatible Rofun platforms (360, 360A, 360C, 450, 450AG, 5B, 5T, 5SC, LT, WLT, BLT, Q360). As a result, setup remains quick and repeatable.
Materials and Performance Notes – Rofun Slate Tires
Rofun Slate Tires use a reinforced rubber compound designed for stable traction and controlled wear on mixed surfaces. In addition, the tread layout helps clear debris to maintain grip during aggressive driving. As a result, the tires deliver consistent control and predictable response across varied off-road conditions.
Maintenance and Run Prep
Inspect tires for cuts, check bead seating, and verify wheel hardware torque before each run. In addition, remove packed debris from the tread after driving. Therefore, the tires maintain stable grip and balanced rotation over time.
