Pro-Line Suburbs 1/8th scale tires

Having sent us a sneak peek of their new Suburbs 3 weeks ago, Pro-Line have now released these new 1/8th scale tires. Available in Pro-Line’s proprietary M3 (Soft) and MC (Clay) compounds, it makes sense that the popular indoor and blue groove tread pattern would be made available for the 1/8th class. Featuring an inner and outer radius rib tread for increased corner holding and predictable side-bite, the internal sidewall ribbing maintains sidewall structure in extreme traction conditions for greater corner control. The tread height is predictable, aggressive, and long-lasting for use on a variety of blue-groove track and surfaces where you would typically run soft compound tires and the tires are supplied with re-usable Closed Cell foam inserts.
