Pro-Line Proton & Ion T tires

Pro-Line introduce the new Proton buggy indoor clay tire and the Ion T 1/10th truck tire. Starting with the all-new Proton tread, the tire builds on the successful V1 Suburbs design and features the same low tread but the tread is thicker front to back and is more spaced out for improved performance on loose and low traction indoor surfaces. The tire will become available soon in Pro-Line’s MC clay compound. Another addition to PL’s special range of clay tires is the Ion T 2.2″ for 1/10th racing trucks. Currently only available in the clay specific MC compound the tire will soon be also available in M3 soft and M4 super soft compounds.
