CD0501 F450 SD FURY M/T Tire 40/15.5R/26LT DL-Series - 2 Tires

CEN F-450 SD FURY M/T TIRES – 40/15.5R/26LT – CD0501

The CEN Racing CD0501 FURY M/T Tire Set is the original-style mud-terrain tire package for the CEN F-450 SD / DL-Series. CEN sells CD0501 as a two-tire package and identifies the tire with the scale-style sidewall designation 40/15.5R/26LT.

VERIFIED PRODUCT DATA

• Manufacturer: CEN Racing
• Part Number: CD0501
• Tire Model: FURY M/T
• Sidewall Designation: 40/15.5R/26LT
• Platform: CEN F-450 SD / DL-Series
• Quantity: 2 tires per package

F-450 SD / DL-SERIES APPLICATION

CEN catalogs CD0501 specifically for the F-450 SD platform. This should therefore be treated as a platform-specific tire rather than as a generic RC truck tire selected only by appearance.

For replacement service, match the exact CD0501 part number or confirm wheel compatibility before installation. Similar-looking CEN DL-Series tires may use different carcass widths or wheel interfaces.

40/15.5R/26LT MARKING

The 40/15.5R/26LT marking is part of CEN's published product designation and mirrors full-size off-road tire nomenclature. GASHEAD RC does not reinterpret that marking as the literal physical dimensions of the RC tire unless CEN separately publishes the corresponding model-scale measurements.

MUD-TERRAIN TREAD FUNCTION

The FURY M/T tread is intended to provide an aggressive off-road appearance and open tread voids characteristic of mud-terrain styling. In practical RC use, tread performance is influenced by surface, vehicle weight, tire compound, foam support and wheel setup—not tread appearance alone.

INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

• Confirm the vehicle/wheel application calls for CEN CD0501.
• Inspect both tires for deformation, bead damage or shipping distortion before mounting.
• Verify the tire bead seats evenly around the wheel.
• Ensure internal foam or insert material is centered and not folded or pinched.
• Check directional tread orientation if the mounted tread pattern is being matched side-to-side.
• Rotate the mounted assembly by hand and inspect for radial hop or lateral wobble.
• Check front steering and suspension clearance through full travel.
• On dual-rear setups, verify adequate sidewall separation under load.

DUALLY REAR-TIRE SPACING

When CD0501 is used on the F-450 dually rear axle, sidewall clearance between the inner and outer tires should be checked after mounting. Continuous sidewall-to-sidewall contact can create friction, heat and uneven wear. Wheel hub selection and rear spacing geometry matter just as much as the tire itself.

BEAD SEATING & RUNOUT

A tire that appears out of round after mounting is not automatically defective. Check whether the bead is seated evenly, the insert is centered and the wheel/hub assembly is running true. A partially seated bead or folded foam can create radial hop that looks like wheel or axle runout.

TIRE WEAR DIAGNOSIS

• Uneven shoulder wear: can indicate alignment, steering geometry or persistent sidewall contact.
• Localized flat wear: may indicate wheel lockup or a tire that was stored deformed.
• Cracking: can indicate age, chemical exposure or long-term environmental degradation.
• Bead damage: can result from incorrect mounting, excessive adhesive or repeated removal.
• Repeated rear-sidewall scuffing: suggests insufficient dually spacing.

CARE & STORAGE

Clean the tires with mild soap and water when needed and avoid harsh solvents that may attack the rubber compound. Store the vehicle or spare tires away from excessive heat, ozone-producing equipment and direct sunlight. Long-term compression in one position can also contribute to temporary flat-spotting.

WHAT CEN DOES NOT PUBLISH

CEN's current CD0501 product page confirms the FURY M/T designation, 40/15.5R/26LT sidewall marking, F-450 SD / DL-Series application and two-tire package quantity. It does not publish a complete specification set for actual RC tire outside diameter, measured width, bead diameter, rubber compound, Shore hardness, individual tire weight or foam specification. GASHEAD RC does not invent those values.

GASHEAD RC NOTE

For a correct F-450 dually setup, treat the tire, wheel and hub as one system. A properly mounted CD0501 should have an evenly seated bead, centered insert, true rotation and adequate rear dual-tire spacing before the truck is driven under load.
