Alien (compound) vs Predator? - new Proline stuff
 

The good people at Proline have been dipping into the social media subtext with this GIF of a Predator kicking the crap out of an alien.

Upcoming tire compound battle?

Whatever is coming, that is some quality RC tire trolling. :mrgreen:

Re: Alien (compound) vs Predator? - new Proline stuff
 

Man if Proline comes out with a new compound I'll be so happy. G8 is amazing, and currently the best compound, but something a little softer with not much loss in durability as well as a good price would be awesome!

Re: Alien (compound) vs Predator? - new Proline stuff
 

I'm pretty over my Pit's anyway, bring it awn.

Re: Alien (compound) vs Predator? - new Proline stuff
 

More 4.75" tires to choose from, yay!


But, would be really great if they did go with the Predator name.

Re: Alien (compound) vs Predator? - new Proline stuff
 

Hopefully they have a stack of them at the By The Fire event.

Re: Alien (compound) vs Predator? - new Proline stuff
 

They must be working on the sequel to the movie.

BTW isn't the Preditor kind of out of this world you know, like alien? just sayin

After tracking down the gif now I can see they're just showing off just how hard the aliens can tear up the rocks (walls)

Only Kidding

Hope the new compound is good and they keep the bead the same or make it bigger so every 3rd thread from noobie is whining about their inability to mount them.

Re: Alien (compound) vs Predator? - new Proline stuff
 

I guess at their event, itll be announced ?!?!




EDIT....

The movie should be badass

Badass marketing here!

I hope they come out with some ~4.4 inch tires in this compound.

Re: Alien (compound) vs Predator? - new Proline stuff
 

This kind of reminds me of the naming war of sorts with the Shelby Cobra and De Tomaso's Mangusta (which means Mongoose)

Re: Alien (compound) vs Predator? - new Proline stuff
 

Need more 4.19 tires actually...kinda over 4.75s to be honest. But Ill be following either way

Re: Alien (compound) vs Predator? - new Proline stuff
 

Good find! Unfortunately, I think they're going to be 4.75" tires from their names - Hyrax and TSL XL.

I have no doubt the compound will kick ass. G8 is already the best. I just hope Proline keeps their reasonable pricing and doesn't go stupid like Pitbull.

Pitbull Alien tires are nice, but honestly not all that impressive compared to the competition, but the price is bat shit crazy.

Re: Alien (compound) vs Predator? - new Proline stuff
 

The pricing on Proline's site has them only about $1.50 more per pair than the G8 versions. They will likely be around $28-29/pair in shops based on the other tires.

Re: Alien (compound) vs Predator? - new Proline stuff
 

Yeah I saw that. I just hope that's the final pricing!

When is the Proline event happening? They will surely be released there if it's soon.

next weekend

Re: Alien (compound) vs Predator? - new Proline stuff
 

Thanks! "thumbsup"

I guess we won't have to wait long for this new compound.

I'm giddy! :lmao:

Re: Alien (compound) vs Predator? - new Proline stuff
 

That is just not a realistic expectation. If you want rubber to be more durable you will have to sacrifice soft and sticky. If you want to have soft and sticky, you just have to accept that the tires are going to wear faster.

It is the nature of rubber

Re: Alien (compound) vs Predator? - new Proline stuff
 

I understand that completely. That's why I said softer with "not much" loss in durability instead of "no" loss in durability.

There's a balance - too soft and it wears too much. Too wear resistant and it's not soft enough. I think Proline is currently at a great compromise. I rarely experience much wear on my Proline tires so I'd sacrifice a little wear for more performance.

Predator sounds way cooler than Alien, how do we even know if aliens have snot or noses?

The Predator killed my buddies dad, Carl Weathers.
