Pro-Line Reaction+ HP Wide SC Belted tires

Pro-Line is proud to bring the next generation of drag racing tires to the no-prep scene with the new Reaction+ HP Wide SC Belted tires. The Reaction+ is about 20% wider than the original Reaction HP tire for massively improved grip off the line, which can mean the difference between victory or defeat. Once you reach full throttle, you can have 100% confidence in the stability of this tire because it is belted with an extra wide belt that wraps further into the corners of the tire to prevent any expansion. The Reaction+ tire is so wide that it will not fit standard width SC wheels, so Pro-Line engineers developed a new Wide SC wheel specifically for use with the Reaction+ HP, the Showtime+ wide SC wheel. Just like the original, the Reaction+ is made from Pro-Line’s soft S3 compound, which is a proven winner taking the win and the top 4 spots at the 2021 King of the Streets drag race in Las Vegas.
