Coming soon from Pro-Line are the Pyramid T 1/10th stadium truck and Pyramid SC 1/10th short course astroturf truck rear tyres. The Pyramid features hundreds of large pyramid-shaped pins with the knife edge pointed front to back and side to side for maximum grip that stay sharp even as they wear down. The carcass shape and tyre thickness of the Pyramid has been optimised for the demands of astroturf racing. The Pyramid comes in soft Z4 and medium Z3 compounds for both cold and hot weather conditions with the T, that includes white open cell inserts, fitting all popular 2.2” stadium truck rims while the SC variant, coming with blue closed cell inserts, is of the usual 2.2”/3.0” size.
Following a first teaser image Pro-Line have officially introduced their all-new Hoosier G60, Super Chain Link and Angle Block 1/10th scale dirt oval tyres. Starting with the G60 2.2”/3.0” dirt oval SC mod tyre, the tread pattern not only looks amazingly scale but the tyre also offers the same high-performance as its full-size counterpart. The tyre features rounded side tread for consistent slide action that will not catch ruts and flip the truck when thrown up into the corner. The G60 tread pattern creates great forward grip combined with long lasting and consistent performance and it fits most 2.2”/3.0” SC rims.
