Pro-Line S3 compound pre-mounted tyres

Pro-Line have introduced their new range of pre-mounted S3 compound 1/8th buggy and truggy tyres. The compound is similar to the X3 long-lasting compound, however it is a substantial leap forward in terms of grip in dry and slick conditions. Another massive improvement with the S3 rubber is that the tyres stay stable throughout long main events and do not fade or get soft near the end of the race. Current variants available include the Hole Shot VTR and Buck Shot VTR truggy pre-mounts as well as the Blockade, Hole Shot, Fugitive, Buck Shot, and Slide buggy tyres. All come mounted on white rims and in sets of two.
