Pro-Line LockDown 1/8th buggy tyre

The new Pro-Line LockDown is the next generation of tyre tread technology to 1/8 buggy race tyres, according to Pro-Line. The tyre features variable pin spacing between the centre rows of pins providing maximum forward bite without sacrificing wear. Each pair of closely spaced centre treads are completely connected at the base of the pin creating the “LockDown area” and providing the optimal pin flex even in soft compounds. The unique crossing side tread is meant to provide smooth steering and consistent side traction on even the most edgy and hard to drive tracks. The pin size of the LockDown is in-between the Hole Shot 2.0 and the Blockade so you can have performance similar to the Hole Shot 2.0 with tread life rivalling the Blockade. The tyre is available in Pro-Line’s X2 to X4 and M2 to M4 rubber and will later also be available pre-mounted on white Velocity wheels.
