The smooth sidewall of the Prime 2.8” allows for controllable slides and burnouts on the street where normal treaded tires would cause the dreaded catch and flip. Bring a whole new level of street fun to your 2.8” Monster Truck with Pro-Line’s new Prime!!

The Prime 2.8” is available Pre-Mounted on F-11 2.8” (Traxxas® Style Bead) Black Wheels for the JATO®, Nitro Stampede® /Rustler® Rear, Electric Stampede® /Rustler®  front, and PRO-MTStampede® 4×4 Front or Rear.

Prime Off-Road 1:8 Buggy Tires
9056-03 M4 (Super Soft)
9056-17 MC (Clay)

This is a pair of Prime 1:8 Buggy Tires. Many indoor off-road race tracks have turned to carpet or pure clay style dirt in search of ultimate traction, eliminating the need for traditional treaded tires. Pro-Line’s all new Prime tires are targeted directly at racers currently running full “slick” tires, saving them from having to grind treaded tires down while delivering improved performance.

Pro-Line’s Prime tires feature unique grooves that add traction and stability when the track is freshly watered or when there is a slight layer of thin dust that would cause a traditional “slick” tire to just spin. The raised treaded portion of the Prime tire has a distinctive rough surface texture similar to a ground “slick” tire and makes the Prime tire have maximum performance right out of the package.

Don’t settle for anything less than Prime Performance with Pro-Line’s new Prime tire!

Fugitive X1 (Firm) Off-Road 1:8 Buggy Tire
for Front or Rear
#9052-001

This is a pair of Fugitive 1:8 Buggy Race TiresWORLD CHAMPION!!! The same tire that Ty Tessmann used to win the World Championships in Italy is now available to you! Pro-Line is putting the competition on the Run with the all-new Fugitive race tire! The Fugitive was developed to be the longest lasting race tire ever produced while still being quick and agile. In the past, the prevailing knowledge for creating a new tire that lasted throughout the long A-Mains in extreme wear conditions was to design a big and tall tire tread that was spaced out. While this was effective for the day, the tall and stiff tread numbed out the handling and didn’t have the speed of the smaller pin race tires.

Pro-Line’s all-new Fugitive tire sets the standard for wear and performance with a whole new design philosophy – small, tightly packed pins that can handle the abuse of being run on concrete. When combined with Pro-Line’s incredible X-Compounds, the Fugitive easily has the best performance to cost ratio of any Pro-Line tire making it perfect for many European style tracks.

Be the first one outrunning the competition with the Fugitive!

9054-033 X3 (Soft) Premounted on V2 White Wheels
9054-034 X4 (Super Soft) Premounted on V2 White Wheels

This is a Suppressor 1:8 Buggy Race Tire. The Suppressor is Pro-Line’s latest race tire designed specifically for medium packed to loose outdoor tracks. The tread design takes inspiration from Pro-Line’s incredibly successful line of race tires like the Hole ShotLock Down and Tazer but brings a whole new level of performance! The Suppressor features a smooth transition from the sidewall to the tread to prevent catching the sharp edges in the track, which can cause violent roll overs and lost time. The long center bars on the Suppressor provide massive forward bite and have a Hole Shot style relief cut for added side to side tread flex. Below the center tread is reinforcement webbing that mimics the outside pattern for a cohesive Suppressor look.

When combined with Pro-Line’s incredible X-Compounds, the Suppressor tires easily become the loose track tire of choice in a high performance package that is second to none!

Pro-Line is making it easier than ever to use the Suppressor tires on your 1:8 Buggy by offering them pre-mounted on White Velocity V2 wheels!

Pro-Line lives and breathes the philosophy of Racing To Bring You The Best and that is exactly what the Velocity V2 1:8 Buggy wheel represents.

Don’t get left behind with old tire technology, jump into the future with the all new Pro-Line Suppressor Tires Mounted to Velocity V2 Wheels!
