New ProLine speedrun tires.

[Dan B.]

Kind of looks like they copied the GRP treads a bit. Supposedly rated for 120 mph. Who’s the Huckleberry? They’re on preorder, hopefully won’t be like the NASCAR ones, on preorder for over a year now…

Can't be me, I sold the Felony. Those look real nice though.

Tattoodoutlaw thinks they’re overpriced, so I’ll have to pass

 

[Moirae]

I don't understand how they can charge so much when GRPS exist at 21$ per pair.

They cost a lot more than GRPs.

 

[Micron]

I hope they are somewhat balanced out of the box. I didn't see anything about it in the info. I might wait a bit before I try them, I'll see if others like them and what speeds they start to scatter themselves down the road!

I'll get a set Just to try out. I was happy with the toyo proxxes. They have held up well. I got them on my infraction. Been able to push them to 108 mph before failure. With these being rated at 120 they will be worth it to see if they will hold up.

They look nice

 

[@9G]

Maybe they'll make the wheels in some nice colors like white, yellow, red or green. But at $36 a pair they're still too pricey. With GRPs being only $21 a pair these are gonna be a hard sell. If they dropped it down closer to $30 or under it'd make more sense...

I read that, too.

I think because their name is ProLine they think they can get away with it? The newest desert tires for the UDR/MOJO, the Mirage tires, are $150.00 for a set of four!!!! Hard pass, hell no, foggetaboutit.

 

[King blitz]

Is the dish style rim the only style available? Would be nice to offer BBS or 5 star rims also

 

[Sandracer_NL]

Tires called Menace? I see people with a Sharpie adding Dennis

What I found most interesting is every brand so far has said "rated to 100mph". This is the first one I have seen that is claiming 120.
That hopefully translates to a high-grip rubber tire that can hold 140-160 mph. (fingers crossed)

If they're anything like the proxxes they will be very grippy. Those tires grip so much they aren't even fun to hoon around in the parking lot with.

Agreed, Pro-line rubber has some serious grip usually.

Or it could be just another marketing scheme. Just like lipo manufacturers like to lei about c ratings

C ratings are real fake

But we could spin the crap out of it on the bench and see what happens as a benchmark.

There was another discussion about wheels https://www.arrmaforum.com/threads/speedrun-custom-wheels-250-mph.65197/page-5#post-993469
A rough estimate was 17K RPM for 200 MPH.

As long as you’re the one buying them, I’ll sub for your results.

Temping. I've burned more money on worse things.
