Super Tires® or Yellow Dog Super Tires® for the Super Wheels DF System are available in six (6) different sizes (click on the accompanying picture above for more information). The wide range of tire diameters gives racers a great deal of flexibility to quickly and easily adjust car setups to match different tracks with varying surface (wood vs. plastic) and surface texture/smoothness.
Note: You are purchasing one (1) pair of tires (6 tires shown for illustrative purposes only).
Which Compound Is Right For Me?
Super Tires® are available in two (2) compounds - silicone ("Classics") and urethane ("Yellow Dogs"). For several years, serious racers and enthusiasts have discovered the performance edge provided by the original silicone Super Tires®. Like all silicone tires, the original Super Tires® perform best on clean racing surfaces. However, racing surfaces and upkeep of those surfaces do vary - as such, some are more prone to accumulate "dirt and dust" than others. In addition, some club rules forbid the use of silicone tires for some/all classes. "Yellow Dog" Super Tires® were developed in response to these requirements. While there are no hard and fast rules on which compound will perform best on a given track/surface, here is some general information about each compound.

Profiling Super Tires
Here's a tip to get the best possible performance from your Super Tires® and Yellow Dog Super Tires®. Be sure to "profile" (round off) the inside and outside edges of the tire - this will result in smoother, more consistent cornering/handling. We've prepared a short how-to video which shows one way to do this. Click here for more information.
