How Do I Find the Right Jel Claws Tire Size for My Slot Car?

Finding the correct Jel Claws tire is simple when you follow these steps:

Step 1: Identify Your Scale

Start by filtering tires by your car's scale:

• 1/64 (HO Scale) – Hot Wheels, AFX, Aurora, Tyco, Johnny Lightning
• 1/43 – Carrera GO!, SCX Compact
• 1/32 – Carrera, Scalextric, Fly, Ninco, Strombecker, Eldon
• 1/24 – Larger scale slot cars, Cox, vintage brass chassis

Step 2: Measure Your Original Tires

Using a caliper or micrometer, measure your current tires:

• Inner Diameter (ID) – The hole that fits on the rim
• Outer Diameter (OD) – The overall tire diameter
• Width – How wide the tire is

Step 3: Compare to Our Tire Dimensions

Every Jel Claws listing includes a dimensions photo showing exact measurements. Match your measurements to find the right fit.

Step 4: Check the Profile

Make sure the tire profile (shape) matches what you need—some tires are flat-faced for racing, others have rounded sidewalls for a realistic appearance.

Pro Tip: When in doubt, measure your rims directly. The inner diameter must match your rim's outer diameter for a proper fit.
