Pro-Line Avenger HP S3 belted street 1/8th buggy tyre

Coming from Pro-Line is their new Avenger HP belted street tyre for 1/8th scale buggies. The tyres were specifically made for 1/8th buggies that love to go fast and will not balloon or expand during use, helping the buggy to go straight and the driver to put the power down. The tyres are pre-mounted on black dish wheels to get drivers up and running immediately. They come in the soft S3 compound and the deep, aggressive grooves built into the tires will help to find grip on most on-road surfaces. Built to go fast, the tyres have a maximum speed rating that, if exceeded, could result in permanently damaging the internal belt. For the Avenger HP tires that is 100 mph or about 8,000 RPM.
