Default Pro-line truggy tires?

what is up with pro-line and truggy tires? about the only thing available for truggy is m3 holeshots and m3 & x2 blockaids. are they dropping truggy line or what? and it is not only online shops. my buddy has a dealership and those are the only ones he can even order. I have managed to find a few other compounds here and there through some of the smaller retailers, but it takes a lot of looking.

According to the Proline 2015 catalogue blockade and Hole shot are the only remaining Truggy tires. All other patterns have been dropped.

What if truggy owners needed tires other than just those for different track conditions?

no bueno

Between AKA and J Concepts I have not had any issues finding the right tire. Do not use JC foams or wheels though.

I can live with those 2 patterns, I just want all the compounds!! I race in conditions from -10f to 100+f and need the different compounds.

I run for proline and I have asked the same question. The truggy market is diminishing and that is the primary reason.

If you are racing - those 2 tires for trucks are all thats needed. I have not ran into a issue at any track regarding tires.

I am happy with those 2 patterns, just not the available compounds. if I could get those in all the compounds, I think I would be very happy.

yeah those 2 tread pattern do alright in truggy, but i agree that we definitely need a choice of compounds to choose from, come on Pro-Line

also while here, do JC truggy tires glue up alright to Pro-Line rims? or do you need the semi-spastic elevated bead rims

I did like the caliber truck tread. It's a shame they DC'd it.

You have to kind of roll the tire bead up the wheel and glue a little at a time but it works.

I cant say I've used anything but a Blockade or Holeshot for the last year and a half. But like most I'd really like to be able to get them in all the compounds.

I still have a sets of new un glued Caliber's that have the old mounded foam in them. That will tell you how much I liked the tread pattern. I've been to so many meetings where people have told me Caliber's were the best tread and I've always been faster on the Blockade.

I'd kill for a new Bow-Tie VTR truggy tire. Sometimes a blockade just doesn't keep up with the iBeam. Would really like a Diamond Back at times.

X3&X2 holeshots for the win

So many manufacturers are really limiting truck tires for 8th scale , definitely a bummer and a severe decline in truggy as a "race" class
