Overview
The Tamiya 24mm Hard Density Tire Insert is designed for racers who prioritize tire longevity and consistent performance over maximum grip. Made from firm rubber compound, these black-colored inserts provide excellent durability and are ideal for high-traction surfaces where softer inserts would wear too quickly.
Hard inserts reduce tire deformation under load, which can actually improve lap time consistency on certain surfaces by providing more predictable handling characteristics. The distinctive black color makes these easy to identify when you have multiple insert types in your pit box.
