Proof is in the Pudding there ALL 4"
Yellow is VTR
beside is AKA
then Proline LPR
then Losi Lightweight LRP
Forgot about width comparison...brb Air8
pretty obvious what treads they are.

You are still wrong, the measurement on your LPRs needs to be from the base of the rim, not including the lip, VTRs don't have a lip like LPRs. inside diameter of LPR tires is approx 3.7" and VTRs are approx 4.0", LPR tirs would prolly stretch onto VTR rims, but not the other way around

Thanks for the info guys.
Per Proline's site, the inner mounting diameter (where the bead is) is 3.7" for LPRs and 4" for VTRs. The outer/rolling diameter are approximately the same between LPR and VTR. And it seems VTRs are slightly narrower per Proline's site (and as can be seen in integra's pictures).
Jaz - I'll have to look into those AKA foams. I still have unmounted standard size tires which would probably greatly benefit from better foams. The stock foams are very soft.
Edit: corrected who posted the pics. Sorry.

+1 they are measuring the mounting surface of the rims. Since the VTR's use a buggy style mounting bead, the rims are a different shape. Measuring from where the bead sits, the VTR rims will be taller. Measuring the very outside diameter of the rim's face, the measurement will be the same between LPR and VTR rims. They use totally different mounting beads so they are NOT interchangeable. VTR tires can only be used with VTR rims. VTR rims can only be used with VTR tires. That is without modification of the tire or rim.

ok that makes seance i think.
but i still stand by my comment that they are Very Similar if not identical to the LPR in the handling dept...Proline Didn't re-Invent the wheel they just put a new spin on it.
