The Garage · Match axle and hub
Wheels & Tyres
Plastic wheels are light and cheap but slip on grass. EVA (foam rubber) and rubber tyres grip better and run quieter. Replacement wheels must match the axle diameter, hub and drive coupling.
What to match
- Axle diameter and length.
- Drive or non-drive wheel (drive wheels have a coupling for the gearbox).
- Wheel diameter and width.
- Retaining clip or nut type.
What the original tyres are
42 of the 68 ride-ons we track describe their wheels. Match a replacement to the same type, so the car grips and steers the way it was built to.
| Tyre type the listing names | Ride-ons |
|---|---|
| EVA foam | 23 |
| Rubber tread or coating | 4 |
| Air-filled | 1 |
| Plastic | 3 |
| Material not named | 11 |
