Pro-Line Prism SC front 2.2”/3.0” carpet tyre

Coming from Pro-Line is their new Prism SC front 2.2”/3.0” 1/10th scale short course tyre, specially developed for the use in carpet racing. The tread features tons of ultra-sharp prism shaped pins in the middle of the tyre combined with Wedge style pins on the outside for exceptional steering on small and tight carpet tracks without the edgy feel of full pin tyres. The pins on the Prism are slightly smaller than the original Pin Point rear tyre but there are many more of them, which results in faster and more consistent lap times. The Prism pins have been positioned with the knife edge pointed front to back and side to side for maximum grip and to stay sharp even as they wear down. The Prism front tyre perfectly pairs with Pro-Line’s Prism SC rear tyre for ideal carpet racing performance. The tyre is available in Z3 medium and Z4 soft carpet compounds and including blue closed cell inserts.
