Pro-Line Buck Shot 1/8th buggy & truggy tyres

Coming from Pro-Line are the new Buck Shot 1/8th buggy and truggy tyres. The new tyre tread debuted at the 2017 ROAR National Championships and it has pins that are very close in size to the popular Hole Shot 2.0 but the Buck Shot pins are stacked closer together side to side, which provides significantly longer lasting performance. Unique to the Buck Shot are also the alternating elongated bars that provide tons of forward bite. Similar to the popular SwitchBlade tyre, the Buck Shot is a directional tyre with different tread on the outside compared to the inside, allowing to mount the tyres in the direction that suits the current track conditions. One side of the tyre has standard pins, which is ideal for loose or low traction conditions where drivers want the tyre to add side grip and improve steering. When mounted in the other direction, the connected side tread reduces side traction in high-bite or edgy conditions. The buggy tyre is available in M3 soft, M4 super soft, X2 medium and X3 soft compound while the truck VTR 4.0 tyre comes in M3, M4 and X3 compound.

The yet unnamed tread looks like a mishmash of the popular Blockade and Hole Shot tyres but it has different length blocks added in the centre as well as a connected outer section on one side, making it directional. The tyre is also available as truggy version at the nationals but no information about a release date has been given yet.

Pro-Line Wide Wedge & Wedge T front tyres

Pro-Line have introduced the Wide Wedge 2WD buggy and Wedge T truck front tyres to complement the already existing range of Wedge carpet and astro turf tyres. Starting with the 2WD buggy tyre, the Wide Wedge brings the popular Wedge tread pattern to a tyre carcass that fits on standard 2WD front wheels, doing away with cutting wheels or needing special narrow 2WD front wheels. The extra tyre width allows for an additional row of tread which Pro-Line used to make the tyre directional, meaning the tyre can be mounted for either more aggressive steering or less. The Wide Wedge has a true drop-in bead that does not require cutting or hand fitting and it is of a super low-profile. The tyre is available in Z3 medium and Z4 soft compound.
