Aimed at Super X and Super XX chassis cars running small-diameter tires, this set includes four carbon fiber-reinforced 3-spoke wheels and four super hard narrow tires (24mm). The wheels' added rigidity helps limit bounce on landing, while the tire compound is harder and lower grip than kit-standard tires, which helps the car keep its speed through corners. Both parts are black. Being a hard compound, the tires need to be pushed on firmly to seat properly on the wheels.
This set shares its 24mm tire size and 3-spoke wheel design with 15541, but where that set uses a standard low-friction compound and is listed as fitting nearly every Tamiya chassis, this one is aimed specifically at the Super X and Super XX chassis, and Tamiya notes some chassis or bodies may still need modification for a proper fit.

Check 24 mm tire fit, wheel seating and brake clearance before testing Tamiya item 15541 on your track. Check the cited sources and current rules.
The Super II is the modern take on a classic layout: simple, tough and widely supported. A clear tuning baseline, and its realistic limits too.
