Default Short Course rib tyres by proline?

So I was looking at bodies on proline website and saw one of the trucks modelling a chevy silverado 1500 body with rib tyres on the front. Has proline released these yet?

Have these on my RTR blitz basher.. Nothing special to be honest. No better than having goosebumps on the front.

JC has the "Carvers" still. If you think theyre no better than goosebumps on the front, youve never has them on a proper outdoor track.

I love the JC Carvers on a slightly loamy track. It seems to make the front of truck more predictable IMO...

Oh, I have. I just must have my truck set up well enough to not need ribbed fronts? :P

I feel the rib tire up front takes away steering just enough to make a slick track more drivable. I have been running ribs up front and blockades in the rear for the last few weeks and I really like how they handle. As for being illegal for roar races, my tracks dont follow those roar rules. roar is a base line for motors and batteries, but who is gonna turn away a customer on a club race for rib tires?
