Frequently Asked Questions

- How long do these tyres last before needing replacement? — The Prism pins are engineered to maintain their sharp edges even as they wear down, ensuring consistent performance across multiple races and practice sessions. The exact lifespan will depend on your driving style, track surface and intensity of use, but the superior pin design means you'll get extended use compared to traditional carpet tyres.
- Are these front tyres compatible with my short course truck? — These Pro-Line Prism CR3 Front Short Course tyres are designed for 1/10 scale short course trucks and are available in both 2.2 inch and 3.0 inch wheel diameter fitments. Check that your truck uses standard 1/10 scale short course wheel sizes and that the tyres match your specific wheel diameter requirement.
- Should I use the matching Prism SC Rear tyres? — For optimal performance and fully balanced handling, Pro-Line recommends pairing these front tyres with their Prism SC Rear tyres. The two are engineered to work together as a complete system, delivering the best lap times and most predictable handling characteristics across all carpet racing conditions.
- Are these tyres difficult to fit onto wheels? — Pro-Line carpet tyres feature a design that makes them straightforward to mount onto standard 1/10 short course wheels. You may wish to use a tyre mounting tool to make the process easier, particularly if the tyres are new and the rubber is stiff.
