PRO1RC Tires enters 1:8 Offroad Market

American company PRO1RC has announced its entry into the US tyre market with the launch of a US designed range of 1:8 Offroad tyres.  PRO1RC Tires will initially offer four buggy models for all track conditions, the DIRT-00, DIRT-01, DIRT-02, DIRT-03 with Truggy versions to follow shortly.  As a new entrant into the USA market they say they will be the first brand that will offer customers to buy the tyres separately from the insert, an option they highlight will save customers money as they can recycle previous insert. In terms of the tyre design one feature is they covered the inside with some bridges that cross the entire tyre which they claim saw made the tyre become much more consistent with the passing of the laps than just with the usual 3 lines, and, it resulted in extended tyre life.  Another feature they have implement in the design are the sidewalls of the tyres, adding 40% more bridges, this helps to be able to accelerate much more strongly in the corner supports.
