PRM 1/10 PROTOform VTA Front 26mm VTA Tires Mounted 12mm Wht Whe G-PRM10140-17

Overview

The PROTOform 1/10 VTA Front 26mm VTA Tyres Mounted on 12mm White Wheels are the perfect choice for any serious RC enthusiast looking to upgrade their VTA-class vehicle with competition-grade, pre-mounted rubber. Whether you're competing in Vintage Trans-Am Racing or simply enjoying recreational driving on your RC car, these professionally engineered tyres come ready to bolt straight onto your 1/10 scale touring car chassis. As an authorised RC car supplier in the UK, we understand that convenience matters—these tyres arrive fully pre-mounted on durable nylon wheels, eliminating the need for gluing, mounting, or additional preparation before you hit the track.

VTA racing has become one of the most popular and accessible forms of competitive RC motorsport across Europe and beyond, and having the right tyres can make the difference between a podium finish and mid-pack results. PROTOform, in partnership with Pro-Line Racing, has developed these VTA-spec tyres using technology perfected through years of racing experience. The 26mm front tyres are specifically engineered to work seamlessly with VTA body kits—particularly PROTOform's own VTA bodies—and deliver consistent handling on virtually any racing surface you'll encounter, from high-grip carpet tracks to prepared asphalt and parking lot venues. If you're shopping for ready-to-run RC touring car upgrades or racing components in the UK, these pre-mounted front tyres represent excellent value and proven performance.

What makes these tyres particularly special is the commitment to domestic manufacturing quality and realistic scale appearance. Made in the USA using cutting-edge Pro-Line Racing technology, every set of these VTA front tyres undergoes rigorous testing to ensure they deliver lap times and handling characteristics that match or exceed previous VTA tyre generations. Unlike older designs that required superglued sidewalls, these modern tyres have been engineered to remain secure and perform consistently without that extra maintenance step, meaning you can spend more time driving and less time in the workshop.

Key Features

• Pre-mounted for your convenience — These tyres arrive fully mounted on the included wheels, eliminating the need for messy glue, mounting machines, or time-consuming preparation; you can unbox them and install them directly onto your VTA-class RC car within minutes.
• Fully-approved VTA racing specification — These tyres meet all official Vintage Trans-Am Racing regulations in the United States, giving you peace of mind that you're running genuine competition-spec rubber approved for sanctioned events and club racing.
• Long-lasting, durable tyre compound — Developed by Pro-Line Racing and refined through extensive track testing, the rubber compound resists wear and tear whilst maintaining consistent grip throughout extended driving sessions, whether you're pushing a single qualifying run or battling through multiple heats.
• Versatile surface performance — These 26mm front tyres grip equally well on high-grip CRC carpet, prepared asphalt, and parking lot surfaces, making them the ideal choice for drivers who race at different venues or prefer running on multiple track types without switching rubber.
• Realistic tyre screeching effects on asphalt — Thanks to special additives and proven moulding technology, these tyres produce authentic tyre noise and screeching sounds when driven on asphalt surfaces, delivering that ultra-scale experience enthusiasts crave when running touring cars with detailed bodies.
• Easy-to-drive handling feel — Testing on high-grip carpet has proven these tyres deliver predictable, responsive handling and comparable or superior lap times to previous-generation VTA tyres, without requiring any additional sidewall reinforcement or gluing.
• Durable nylon wheel construction — The 8-spoke nylon wheels are engineered to withstand the stresses of competitive racing whilst remaining lightweight enough to keep rotational inertia low for responsive acceleration and braking.
• Works well on any surface — Whether you're driving on carpet, asphalt, concrete, or prepared parking lots, these VTA front tyres deliver consistent grip and predictable handling across all common RC racing surfaces.
• Made in the USA — Every set is manufactured in the United States using domestic processes and materials, ensuring quality control and supporting advanced RC racing manufacturing standards.
• 0-offset front geometry — The 26mm front tyres feature 0 offset, which provides the correct geometry and stance for your VTA-class touring car, ensuring proper handling balance and weight distribution across the front axle.
• Available in white or black options — Choose the colour that best suits your paint scheme or personal preference; white wheels look stunning on darker coloured bodies, whilst black wheels offer a classic, stealthy appearance.

Technical Performance

These PROTOform VTA front tyres represent the pinnacle of modern touring car tyre engineering, combining advanced rubber chemistry with precision moulding to deliver performance that satisfies both competitive racers and recreational drivers. The 64mm overall diameter and 26mm width are precisely engineered to VTA specification, ensuring compatibility with all standard 1/10 scale VTA-class touring cars and PROTOform VTA body kits. The durable nylon wheel material provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio, meaning minimal rotational mass without sacrificing durability during intense racing or bashing sessions. The long-lasting compound formulation used in these tyres has been tested extensively on high-grip CRC carpet, where they deliver consistent lap times and responsive handling feel that matches or exceeds previous VTA tyre generations. On asphalt surfaces, the inclusion of special grip-enhancing additives ensures excellent bite whilst producing realistic scale tyre noise and screeching sounds that add to the immersive RC driving experience. The absence of a requirement for superglued sidewalls represents a major quality-of-life improvement over older VTA tyre designs, meaning you can mount, drive, and rotate these tyres without worrying about sidewall failure or delamination. The 8-spoke wheel design distributes stress evenly across the wheel structure, whilst the 0-offset geometry of the 26mm fronts ensures proper anti-squat and geometric balance essential for predictable handling characteristics on both carpet and asphalt. Whether you're competing at the highest levels of VTA racing or enjoying weekend club events and practice sessions, these professionally engineered tyres deliver the performance and reliability you expect from a brand backed by Pro-Line Racing's legendary reputation.
