Introducing the all-new Convict 1:8 Buggy race tire that represents Pro-Line’s next-generation version of the World Champion Fugitive tire. The Fugitive was developed to be the longest-lasting race tire ever produced and it proved that by winning the World Championship in the harshest condition while still having tread leftover. But for most racetracks and in most conditions, you just don’t need that much tread. Enter the new Convict, a lightweight and more versatile version of the popular Fugitive. Made from Pro-Line’s latest generation carcass shape for improved bump handling and features smaller and more spaced-out tread, so it has the speed for qualifying while still having the right amount of tread to last long main events. Strategically placed small connecting bars improve the stability of the tire tread, which is especially important when used in softer compounds.
