Silicon tyres for old Scalextric 1275GT - Scuderia_Turini - 3rd-Jun-25

Hello, I am looking for silicon tyres to fit an old Scalextric Mini 1275GT. I know that they are the same fitment on other Scalextric cars of the same era.
Looking for recommendations from people who have purchased such and people who may be able to supply from their own production.

Cheers, Leo

hi Leo
hope your good

I'm not 100%
I think Quick slicks do a tyre for the Scalextric start F1 cars
which if i am not mistaken is the same size wheel as your 1275 mini

Scalextric START F1 part no- SC130
might be worth dropping 'slot car corner' a message to be sure

no idea who , if anyone stocks them in UK or EU
and shipping is pricy from US unless your buying a few

hope that helps m8

Start F1 car tyres are more like large Superslix. Same front and rear so too big for 1275GTs.

Don't know what they're made of but they ARE grippy. Just a satisfied customer.

Thank you Doug very helpful, I think I have tried that supplier before but will give them another try.

Edit: Yes have bought these before. As you say they are pretty grippy and prob the best I am going to find. Have ordered another set.

Just to clarify,
I am still looking for silicon tyres (for an old Mini 1275GT) and am looking for supportive responses.
