Default Proline Buggy Tire Help

What Proline 1/8 Buggy tire should I be using on a low traction, loose dirt track that does get watered? Some people use AKA I-Beams? No one at our local track uses Proline so am after some advice.

Blockade in m3 or possibly m4 would be the most common but if the dirt is really loose I would recommend a caliber in m3. They are an older tire that isn't as popular anymore with so many tracks being hard packed but it works awesome in loose conditions.

If people are running IBeams then the Proline counter part is the Bowtie.

Agreed. Depending on the water level X3 compound might be your best bet (X compounds prevent the pin from rolling over as much). M3 otherwise.

Thanks everyone for your help, I want to use pre mounts and see the bow tie 2.0 only comes in x2, x3 & x4. If I went with x4, how does this compare with m3? The temps here would be around 20 degrees Celsius.

I would suggest the Suppressor or Blockade M3. I only run the X series for long mains in heat.
