Matrix 1:10 EP D36 Rubber Tire Preglued Asphalt (4) ETS Modified

The ready glued Matrix D36 tires are high performance racing tires with good durability.
These features make the Matrix tires the perfect product for tough competition, but also for club racing and other racing series.
Also at the ETS, the world’s most important electric onroad racing series, the Matrix D36 are the mandatory tires for the Touring Car Modified class at all outdoor races.

The tires are used in the ETS Modified class (The D36 version is used since ETS RD1 2023 in Apeldoorn).
The tires are glued on a classic white disc rim WITHOUT ETS marking.
This makes it especially easy to distinguish the tires from the other Matrix asphalt tires (EPA036)!

Here are a few notes about the Matrix D36 tire:

• It has been found that the tires are extremely fast when the following factors come together:
• The track must be clean. The D36 tire is very sticky and therefore particularly susceptible to dust of all kinds.
• If you have a very clean track, the D36 will be incredibly fast.
• On a dirty track, however, the tire performs worse than others.

Here are a few tips to achieve the best performance:

• Very many drivers use the tire additive 2 times before driving (saucing 2 times in 10 minute rythm).
• It is heated with higher temperatures (from 70 degrees upwards to 80 degrees)
• The tire works best when it is «up to temperature».
• It has no problem (like other tires) with the classic «overheating» after the first minutes.

Can I use the tire in stock classes?

Yes, of course, although the D36 may not be the best tire for stock classes. Small setup changes will be necessary.
Also it can be that the lap times with the tire are not faster than before (in contrast to the Modified class).
This is due to the high traction of the tires in the apex of the curve which then brakes down stock cars a little too much. You lose some cornering speed while rolling.
Furthermore, it is difficult to bring the tire in slower stock classes in the right temperature window.
