I wonder how many of you guys remember ICQ?
ICQ => I Seek You. Yep, I remember it. Don't think I ever used that one. I was always on AIM and IRC.

I used ICQ before AIM gained popularity and turned ICQ into a ghost town.

Now, 25 years later, we use "Skype For Business" at work, which is, essentially, ICQ.

Just use closed cell foam inserts that leave a slight air gap - should minimize side-hilling issues, but allow tire tread to conform to terrain better.

I know, dang ol ginormous tars are too big and waaaaay outta scale, only have one set of them because of this. I just bought their 1946 Dodge Power Wagon and especially the rear wheel wells are freakin huge, looks terrible but cab is not quite as bad.

Viva la mid-sized tires!

Agreed, but Pro-Line should include these good foams.

Nice tires. I'll get a set eventually. And I know it's a broken record but "Proline make some 1.55 tires already"

I remember and used ICQ quite a lot in the early days, then Microsoft's messenger muscled in and i moved over to MIRC and got my geek on

Been ages since i have used my ICQ or messenger, or mirc for that matter, that kind of died out as i stopped competitive gaming due to lack of good games to play.

I keep wanting to buy these tires and then I remind myself that they should have released them in Predator compound. That is most likely coming at some point and I hope it's sooner rather than later.

Yup, should have been made in the predator compound.

Would be nice to see some more pics of the tire mounted on different trucks.

Hey Frank211 (or mods?) would you mind changing the thread title to include the tire name? We have far too many vaguely titled threads already and its really hard to find the right "hey look at this thread" when going back to find these.

I picked up a set of the TrXus tires for an IFS build and noticed something new (for Proline) after cleaning off the mold release. Theres a shiny/glossy side and a matte/satin side on these tires. Take note when assembling so you dont get a missmatch. This reminds me of some of RC4WD older tires.

I bet these in Predator would do great here. The Pitbull PBX tires really impressed me on our terrain, but they were just too short and narrow for me. 4.5 is a good size.

I've got some time running these on some rock and can say they work pretty well, not the absolute best tire out there because of the tight lug spacing but nothing to complain about. I usually get the sense when a tire is garbage very quickly and these are definitely not that. The tire carcass is nice and flexible. I ran this on an IFS Enduro and I'm running dual stage CI foams that have been narrowed.

I think these will get better as they break in and open up the spacing between the lugs. Before I got the tires I was even thinking some minor trimming might be helpful too, not removing lugs completely but taking the back half of some off. I guess cutting tires is lot less common since tires have gotten better over time.
