We previously released a video about the stock rubber Carrera slot car tires (those that come included with a new Carrera digital or Evolution slot car. In that video we ran cars with both the stock tires and aftermarket Paul Gage urethane tires to compare their performance. The results showed very little difference between the two types of slot car tires but the urethanes did have a slight advantage over the stock Carrera tires.
The most frequent comments we received on the video are from those who were interested in seeing the same tests performed but with magnetless/no-mag slot cars. Therefore, we used the same cars used in the original video and performed the same test except with the traction magnets removed.

The video includes information regarding truing (or tuning) of slot car tires that apply to not only Carrera but other brands of slot cars such as Scalextric, Policar, Ninco, Slot-It. Aftermarket tires, such as Paul Gage urethane brand also require truing after installation.
