Information

These made-to-order tyres feature the popular "green dot" compound which has great traction properties. They respond well to tyre treatments and conditioners. They are available with a diameter of 2-1/8", 2-1/2" and 2-7/8". They have been modified to reduce the width of the assembly when mounted to the hubs. The 2-1/8" tyres are used on our Stomper Sumo Kit. The green dot tyres are softer than the blue dot compound. The green dot tyres will compress about 1/8" with 10 lbs of force. The blue dot tyres compress about 1/32" with the same downward force. It is recommended that the blue dot compound be used with a robot that uses magnets or vacuum to reduce the tyre compression. These tyres mount directly onto an HS-422 servo using only two #4 x 5/8" self tapping screws. You do not need the aluminum hub to do this.
