FEATURES
Ground-Up Design: The tires are engineered from scratch to ensure they deliver peak performance. This approach likely means every aspect, from the compound used to the tread pattern, is carefully considered and tailored for maximum effectiveness.
Smooth, Low Grip Tracks: The design targets tracks with smooth surfaces and low levels of grip. Tires optimized for these conditions typically feature specific tread patterns and compounds to maximize traction despite the lack of natural grip.
Tightly Packed Small Pins with Deep Sipes: This combination suggests a tread pattern that prioritizes grip on low-traction surfaces. The tightly packed small pins increase the tire's contact patch with the ground, while the deep sipes help channel water and debris away from the contact patch, enhancing traction.
Run Harder Compounds: Despite being designed for smooth, low-grip tracks, these tires allow for the use of harder compounds. Harder compounds typically provide better longevity and stability at the expense of some initial grip. However, the tire's design likely compensates for this, ensuring adequate grip even with harder compounds.
Reduced Edginess for Effortless Control: The tires are engineered to have reduced edginess, meaning they offer smoother and more predictable handling characteristics. This design choice enhances control, allowing drivers to push the limits with confidence while maintaining stability and consistency throughout races.
This is a pair of Slide Lock 1/8 Buggy Tires. The Slide Lock is a unique tire design from Pro-Line that is made specifically for smooth, low grip tracks. The Slide Lock features a pattern of small, tightly packed hexagon and triangle shaped pins so you can lay down as much rubber as possible. The tread on the Slide Lock is laid out wider across the tire carcass for a flatter profile overall compared to other Pro-Line 1/8 Race Tires. Each hexagon pin has a deep sipe down the middle of the tread for added flex and grip on even the slickest of surfaces. The built-in tread flex means you can run harder compounds for longer wear and still have good traction when you need it. The large and stiff side pins reach far down the sidewall to reduce edginess as much as possible. Be the first at your track to win with Pro-Line's Slide Lock tire. Get yours today!
