Jelclaws Slot Car Tires

  • Do I Need Jel Claws on Both Front and Rear Axles?

    Rear Jel Claws tires are essential for traction; front tires are optional but improve handling. Most racers start with rear tires for the biggest performance gain, then add fronts for maximum cornering grip and steering response.
  • Do You Have a Tire Fitment Guide or Chart?

    We don't offer a universal tire fitment chart—here's why and what we provide instead. Each Jel Claws listing includes confirmed fits and exact dimensions. Learn why measuring your tires directly is the most accurate way to find the right fit.
  • Do You Make Tires for Vintage/Classic Slot Cars?

    Yes! Jel Claws offers tires for vintage slot cars including Eldon, Strombecker, Aurora, Cox, Revell, Marx, and more. Find tires for classic 1/32, 1/64 HO, and 1/24 scale cars from the 1960s to today. Measure for best results.
  • How Do I Find the Right Jel Claws Tire Size for My Slot Car?

    Learn how to find the perfect Jel Claws tire size for your slot car. Follow our simple 4-step process: identify your scale, measure your tires, compare dimensions, and match the profile. Works for HO, 1/32, 1/43, and 1/24 scale cars.
  • How Long Do Jel Claws Tires Last?

    Jel Claws tires last 15-20 years unused when stored properly. Active lifespan varies by usage, track surface, and driving style. Learn how to maximize tire life and recognize when it's time to replace your slot car tires.
  • What's the Difference Between Jel Claws and Silicone Tires?

    Jel Claws are made from proprietary synthetic rubber—not silicone or urethane. They outperform silicone on plastic and wood tracks, won't tear during installation, and offer consistent grip. Compare features and find out which is best for you.
  • Where Can I Find Tire Dimensions on Your Listings?

    Find Jel Claws tire dimensions in the photo gallery of every listing. Look for the "Tire Tech" dimensions image showing inner diameter, outer diameter, width, and profile shape. Measurements in inches and millimeters included.
  • Will Jel Claws Fit My Specific Car Model?

    Check if Jel Claws fit your slot car. Confirmed models are listed on each product page. Car not listed? Measure your tires and compare to our dimension specs—if the measurements match, the tires will fit regardless of brand.
