Talking New bow-tie tire!!! - 02.17.2006, 06:59 PM

Pro-line have just announced a new slim line Bow Tie MT tire. They say its 15% lighter than the standard bow tie, which by my calculations puts it in a 124g - and crime fighters MT are 134g! Heres a link incase anyones interested:

Those should be a pretty nice tire. They should have a little less sidewall roll compared to the standard ones. Myself I've come to like the 40 series tires although they tend to damage rims a little easier. Thanks for the link.:dft009:

I just ordered a set of sporttraxx tires off ebay, I really like the look of them. Hopefully they'll be up to it performance wise.

My sprottraxx have held up good for romping around the neighborhood and have good traction but I've noticed since going with the 8XL and lipos that on speed runs they elongate a bit. I've only run the with 14/51 so I can imagine how they might stretch going to taller gearing. I blame it on the heavier ramped nobs in the middle. I'd like to try a 40 series step pin for looser conditions but I don't think they make that in a 40.
