Technical Performance

These PROTOform VTA rear tyres represent a serious engineering achievement in 1/10 scale RC touring car equipment. The 31mm width and 64mm diameter are precision-engineered dimensions that place them squarely within VTA racing specifications, and the +6 offset geometry isn't arbitrary—it's calculated to position the tyre at exactly the right point on your 190mm VTA chassis to achieve authentic scale proportions and optimal weight distribution. The super long-lasting compound has been formulated through extensive testing and development, working in concert with moulding technology perfected by Pro-Line Racing, one of the most respected names in RC tyre manufacturing. On high-grip CRC carpet surfaces commonly found at UK RC clubs and competition venues, these tyres have been specifically tested to deliver lap times comparable to previous VTA tyre generations whilst eliminating the need for labour-intensive sidewall supergluing. The additives in the compound provide genuine grip enhancement on prepared asphalt, and the realistic tyre screeching sounds generated during aggressive cornering add an authentic touch that appeals to scale-conscious enthusiasts. The durable nylon 8-spoke wheels provide reliable structural support, resisting the centrifugal and lateral forces generated during both carpet racing and asphalt driving. Being pre-mounted eliminates the variability introduced by different mounting techniques and allows you to enjoy consistent, predictable performance immediately out of the box. For UK RC car enthusiasts building or upgrading a VTA platform, these rear tyres represent carefully engineered performance equipment developed through partnership between two of the industry's most respected manufacturers.
