4. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for optimal tire performance. Follow these steps to mount your AKA SC IMPACT tires:

1. Prepare Wheels: Ensure your short course wheels are clean and free of debris.
2. Insert Foam: Carefully place the red foam insert inside the tire. Ensure it sits evenly and without twists.
3. Mount Tire: Mount the tire onto the wheel. It is recommended to use a tire mounting tool or technique that prevents damage to the tire bead or wheel.
4. Glue Tire (if applicable): For racing or aggressive driving, it is highly recommended to glue the tire bead to the wheel using a suitable RC tire glue. Apply a thin, even bead of glue around the tire's inner and outer edges where it meets the wheel. Allow sufficient drying time as per the glue manufacturer's instructions.
5. Inspect: After mounting and gluing, inspect the tire for any gaps, twists, or uneven seating.

Always refer to your RC vehicle's manual for specific wheel and tire compatibility.

5. Operating Guidelines

To maximize the performance and lifespan of your AKA SC IMPACT tires, consider the following:

• Surface Selection: These tires are designed for a variety of surfaces. Experiment with tire pressure and vehicle setup to find the best performance for your specific track conditions.
• Tire Break-in: New tires may require a short break-in period to achieve optimal grip.
• Tire Rotation: Regularly inspect and consider rotating tires (front to rear, or side to side) to promote even wear, especially if you notice uneven wear patterns.
• Storage: Store tires in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent rubber degradation.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps extend the life and performance of your tires:

• Cleaning: After use, clean dirt and debris from the tires using a soft brush and mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect tires for cuts, tears, or excessive wear. Check the tire bead for separation from the wheel.
• Foam Inserts: If foam inserts become waterlogged or damaged, they may need to be replaced to maintain tire performance.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your tires, consider the following common solutions:

• Poor Grip:
  • Ensure tires are clean and free of dust or oil.
  • Check for proper tire compound selection for the track surface.
  • Verify foam inserts are correctly seated and not damaged.
  • Adjust vehicle suspension settings.
• Uneven Wear:
  • Inspect vehicle alignment and suspension components for issues.
  • Consider rotating tires.
  • Review driving style for excessive scrubbing or sliding.
• Tire Separation from Wheel:
