They look great. A lot more sidewall then the Losi's and I like that. They might even be ok in a mud hole!

I'd like to see some more options in the 40 series area though. Theres just nothing out there in that size.

So, this is why I am always broke

I like 'em....now hopefully they work.

Rizzo and I will be testing these thoroughly and getting a full report soon. A lot of R&D went into these and will be a great tire for competition.

Dirk was a major influence on the design and they really look awesome. They are not as wide as the Badlands and when mounted on a beadlock they have a side to side profile just like another popular tire out. I really like the lugs and it looks like a long wearing tire. The sidewalls are the best I have seen. I will have these on rocks today. These are M3's and next week I should have the M2's to test as well.

TD!

How wide are they? Because Cut and shut to 1.9 if you had to remove some center lug they might look more scale also like a swamper.

FrankyRizzo · 03-07-2008, 10:02 AM

First impressions is that they rock. Climbing on the usual lines on my "test" rock they have more pull than the Badlands. They hold the line really well and I will post more findings as I run it later.

rbl · 03-07-2008, 10:15 AM

I'm sorry, I thought I made the wording outlandish enough to make it a obvious "joke". I guess I was wrong thinking you wouldn't actually say something like that.

What foam are you runnng in these. Have you thought about asking ProLine to make memory foams? They look like they would be great for the UK where we are jumping between rock and dirt.

I thought these areas were for tech.
This sounds like chit chat and flaming.

Ken and I are running Aces Memory foams.

you might see those soon

Make the bad man stop!

I will have to get these, I like the more open tread pattern. Although I was thinking of trying B lands, I will give these a shot first. I think pro line hit it with this one

Any pics next to Claws and or B lands yet??????????????????

Wrecker · 03-07-2008, 10:59 AM

I personally hope these tire do as good as they are hyped up to be. Having another awesome tire (or even better tire) on the market would be great. Thank you to proline for stepping up and making some tires specifically for crawlers, the mfg competition will only help out the cutstomer and be better for the crawling industry.

Racer4Life · 03-07-2008, 11:03 AM

All I can say is "Thank God for Beadlocks, or RD400"

. If I had to buy wheels everytime a new tire came out...it would be crazy. I got into Rock Crawling because it was cool, and I thought less expensive than Touring Car and Off-Road racing....Guess NOT!

A big thanks to Proline for making another tire for this market. Can't wait to see more test's reports from these.

Will these be ready for the East Coast Champs???

DUDE · 03-07-2008, 11:08 AM

I actually wish the tire was wider , when you pinch in a wider tire on a narrow rim a crawler seems to be more stable with off cambers with way less sidewall roll over. Look at the third pic in rizzo's post, you can see the side wall rolls over, like the clawz any any other narrow tire.

a firm foam will cure this.
