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

Short answer: Rear tires are essential; front tires are optional but beneficial.

Rear Tires (Most Important)

Rear tires provide the traction that moves your car. Upgrading to Jel Claws rears will give you:

• Better grip and acceleration
• Improved speed through corners
• More consistent lap times

Most racers start here.

Front Tires (Optional Upgrade)

Your car will run fine with original hard plastic or rubber front tires. However, Jel Claws fronts offer:

• Better steering response
• Improved grip through tight turns
• More predictable handling
• Reduced understeer

Our Recommendation:

What Most Racers Do:

1. Start with rear tires to feel the improvement
2. Add front tires later if you want even better handling

Bottom line: You'll notice the biggest difference from rear tires. Front tires fine-tune your handling for those who want every advantage.
