Overview
Pro-Line's Hyrax Front/Rear 2.8" MT Tires Mounted 12mm Black Raid represents a premium solution for 1/10 scale monster truck enthusiasts across the UK who demand exceptional traction, durability and convenience. These professionally pre-mounted tyres eliminate the guesswork and mess associated with traditional tyre gluing, allowing you to spend less time on preparation and more time enjoying your RC car. Whether you're a seasoned basher, a weekend racer, or new to the world of RC monster trucks, these ready-to-run tyres deliver the performance and reliability that Pro-Line has been renowned for since 1982.
Pro-Line has brought their extremely popular Hyrax rock crawling tread design to the 1/10 monster truck scene, creating a versatile tyre that excels across virtually any terrain imaginable. Whether you're running on loose or hard-packed dirt, sand, snow, street, or gravel surfaces, the Hyrax 2.8" tyre is engineered to handle the task with confidence. The tyre was meticulously designed to deliver ultimate traction combined with long-lasting durability, ensuring you get maximum value from your investment. These are genuine Pro-Line Racing tyres, manufactured in the USA since 1982, backed by decades of off-road expertise and commitment to quality.
What sets these mounted tyres apart in the RC car UK market is the combination of the innovative Hyrax tread pattern with Pro-Line's next-generation Raid 2.8" removable hex wheel system. This isn't just a tyre and wheel combination—it's a complete ecosystem designed for flexibility, ease of maintenance, and superior performance. The removable hex system means you can adjust wheel offsets to suit different applications without removing your glued tyres, change damaged hexes without replacing the entire wheel assembly, and even upgrade to 14mm or 17mm hexes for different vehicle platforms. This level of adaptability is genuinely unique in the RC hobby and represents genuine innovation in wheel design.
Key Features
- Hyrax All-Terrain Tread Design — The revolutionary Hyrax tread pattern provides ridiculous amounts of traction and stability across all surface types, from loose dirt to hard-packed terrain. Each tyre lug is specifically shaped to dig into whatever surface you're running on, giving you confidence and predictable handling in any condition.
- Ultra-Thick, Durable Tyre Lugs — The oversized tall tread is second-to-none in durability and longevity compared to standard monster truck tyres. The ultra-thick construction of each lug means your tyres will withstand aggressive bashing and extended use without premature wear, saving you money in the long run.
- Pre-Mounted Ready-to-Run Convenience — These tyres arrive pre-mounted on the wheels, eliminating the time-consuming and messy process of gluing tyres to wheels. You take the guesswork out of the installation and can get running immediately without needing tyre glue, clamps, or mounting jigs.
- Removable Hex System for Ultimate Flexibility — The innovative 6x30 removable hex design allows you to change wheel offsets on the fly by simply swapping out hexes, without damaging your tyres. This means you can easily transition from 2WD Stampede/Rustler rear setup to front and rear configurations by changing only the hex, not the entire wheel.
- Easily Replaceable Hexes and Upgrade Capability — Unlike traditional glued wheels, damaged hexes can be replaced individually without needing to replace your entire tyre and wheel assembly. You can also upgrade to 14mm hexes for ARRMA vehicles or 17mm hexes for extreme use applications without purchasing new tyres.
- Removable Hex Wheel Included — The 2 most common offsets are included in the box—both 12mm narrow offset (ideal for 2WD Stampede/Rustler rear) and 12mm wide offset (suitable for 2WD Stampede/Rustler front and 4x4 Stampede/Rustler front and rear). This gives you immediate compatibility with multiple vehicle configurations.
- High-Quality Raid Wheel Design — The wheels are manufactured from high-strength, durable DuPont Nylon material with a professional 10-spoke design that mimics full-size racing wheels. This aesthetically impressive design doesn't sacrifice durability—the material is engineered to withstand the demands of serious bashing.
- Extremely Detailed Sidewall Styling — The tyres feature an extremely detailed sidewall with the official Pro-Line logo and Hyrax name embossed directly onto the rubber, giving your RC monster truck that authentic, tough off-road appearance that enthusiasts appreciate.
- Complete Hardware Included — M3 wheel hex hardware is included in the package, ensuring you have everything needed for installation. These quality fasteners ensure your wheels remain securely mounted during aggressive driving.
- Made in the USA Since 1982 — Pro-Line Racing has a proven track record of quality manufacturing spanning over four decades. These tyres represent the accumulated expertise of a company that has been building premium RC tyres and wheels since the very beginning of the modern RC hobby.
Technical Performance
The Hyrax 2.8" tyres represent a significant engineering achievement in tyre design for 1/10 scale monster trucks. The tread pattern has been carefully engineered through years of development, with each lug shaped specifically to bite into loose and hard-packed surfaces with equal effectiveness. The ultra-thick construction of the lugs provides exceptional durability—these aren't delicate competition tyres that require careful handling, but robust, durable rubber designed for serious bashing. The tyre compound is formulated to provide consistent grip across a wide range of temperatures and surface conditions, whether you're running in cool British spring weather or on hot summer tarmac. The 2.8" diameter places these in the modern monster truck category, providing the aggressive stance and traction characteristics that modern platforms like the Traxxas Stampede and Rustler demand. The Raid wheel construction uses high-strength DuPont Nylon, a material chosen for its combination of impact resistance and dimensional stability. The 6x30 removable hex system features 6 M3 screws spaced precisely 30mm across, creating a secure, repeatable mounting system that maintains proper alignment and balance. The removable hex design means you can experiment with different offsets—from narrow 12mm setups for 2WD rear applications to wider offsets for 4x4 vehicles—all without investing in new tyres. This modularity is genuinely practical for bashers who run multiple vehicle platforms or who want to experiment with different setups.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres suitable for both 2WD and 4WD Stampede and Rustler vehicles? — Yes, absolutely. The package includes both 12mm narrow offset hexes (for 2WD rear applications) and 12mm wide offset hexes (for 2WD front and 4WD front/rear applications). You simply swap the hexes to adapt to your specific vehicle configuration, making these incredibly versatile.
- Do I need to glue these tyres to the wheels? — No—these tyres arrive pre-mounted on the Raid wheels, completely eliminating the need for tyre glue, clamps, or mounting jigs. This saves you significant time and mess compared to traditional separate tyres and wheels that require bonding.
- Can I replace just the hex if it gets damaged? — Yes, this is one of the major advantages of the removable hex system. If you damage a hex, you simply replace it with a new one (PRO633500 replacement hexes sold separately) without needing to replace your tyres. This saves money and reduces waste.
- What's the difference between the included 12mm narrow and wide offset hexes? — The narrow offset is optimised for 2WD Stampede/Rustler rear applications, whilst the wide offset works for 2WD Stampede/Rustler front and 4x4 Stampede/Rustler front and rear applications. The different offsets change the track width and weight distribution characteristics of your vehicle.
- Can I upgrade these wheels to 14mm or 17mm hexes later? — Yes, the 6x30 removable hex design accommodates 14mm hexes (PRO634700) for ARRMA vehicles and 17mm hexes (PRO633600) for extreme use, all without needing to replace your tyres. This future-proofs your investment.
- What surfaces are these tyres suitable for? — The Hyrax 2.8" tyres excel on loose dirt, hard-packed earth, sand, snow, street surfaces, and gravel. They're genuinely all-terrain tyres designed for versatile use across varied conditions.
- Are these Made in the USA? — Yes, Pro-Line Racing has manufactured tyres and wheels in the USA since 1982, and these Hyrax tyres maintain that commitment to quality manufacturing and American craftsmanship.
- How do these compare to standard monster truck tyres? — The Hyrax 2.8" offers superior traction through its specially-shaped lug design, exceptional durability through ultra-thick rubber construction, and revolutionary convenience through pre-mounting and the removable hex system. Combined with the Raid wheel's professional aesthetics and practical modularity, these represent a significant step forward in tyre and wheel technology for 1/10 monster trucks.
