Pro-Line Caliber 2.0 SC M2 tires

Pro-Line have released their new Caliber 2.0 SC 2.2”/3.0” M2 (Medium) Tires for Slash, Slash 4×4, SC10, Blitz and Ultima Front or Rear. The Caliber 2.0 SC takes tire technology to the next level by optimizing traction, control, balance and tire wear with its dual-stage design and wider contact patch. The smaller top pin penetrates through loose dirt while delivering unbelievable side and forward bite. The base pin works as a support for the top pin while acting as a dual-stage design once the top pin is worn down. You can rely on the base pin for greater tread life wear and it works well on those tracks that are prone to blue-groove or have a super clean surface.

Developed in the UK for Astroturf tracks, the innovative duel level Multibyte tread which is proving popular in 10th scale, has an operational window somewhere between angle-spikes and minipins. The MultiByte in their ‘A’ compound could give you the speed and endurance edge you require. There are side ribs to limit the side bite and the spikes designed with a step so they can be trimmed to a shorter stump to tune the grip levels.

Pro-Line Suburbs SC 2.0 tires

Having brought you a sneak peak of the new updated Suburbs from Pro-Line, the US company has released full details on these new tires. The Suburbs SC 2.0 feature a wider tire design so you can put more rubber down and get better traction, all while remaining within ROAR tire rules. This tire is also super long-lasting because it features more pins and a deeper tread. The Suburbs SC 2.0 tread design is ideal for high traction conditions, which is often found at indoor clay and outdoor blue-groove tracks. Included with this tire is the new soft closed-cell insert that achieves even more traction because the tire conforms better to the bumps and jumps on the racing surface.
