Technical Performance
The Pro-Line Prism 2.0 CR4 Rear 2.2 inch Carpet Buggy Tires represent a significant advancement in carpet racing tyre technology. The 2.2 inch size is the standard for 1/10 scale off-road buggies and these tyres are specifically optimised for carpet surfaces where consistent, predictable grip is essential for competitive racing. The CR4 soft compound has been formulated through extensive testing by Pro-Line's factory racing team to deliver maximum grip on carpet whilst maintaining durability through multiple races. The ultra-sharp prism-shaped pins are engineered to bite into carpet fibres with maximum efficiency, providing the kind of responsive handling that separates winning setups from the rest of the field. The lower profile carcass design reduces unsprung mass and lowers the centre of gravity, improving suspension geometry and allowing faster corner speeds. The directional side tread feature is particularly innovative, allowing you to quickly adjust your tyre performance characteristics without changing tyres — simply remount them with different pin orientation facing outward to adapt to track condition changes. Built to the exacting standards expected by professional racers and factory-supported drivers, these tyres represent Pro-Line's latest leap forward in the competitive carpet racing scene. Whether you're a dedicated carpet racer looking for your next advantage or a serious enthusiast wanting to experience the performance benefits of championship-level tyres, the Prism 2.0 CR4 delivers the grip, consistency, and durability required for success on UK carpet tracks.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between CR3 and CR4 compounds? — Pro-Line offers their CR compounds in two options: CR3 (Medium) and CR4 (Soft). The CR4 is the softer compound, providing maximum grip on high-grip carpet surfaces, whilst the CR3 medium compound offers a balance of grip and durability. Choose CR4 when you're racing on grippy carpet tracks and want maximum performance, or CR3 if you prefer a slightly harder compound for different track conditions.
- Are these tyres suitable for beginners? — These are professional-grade racing tyres engineered for competitive carpet racing, so they're best suited to experienced carpet racers and serious enthusiasts rather than beginners. However, if you're new to carpet racing and want to invest in quality tyres that will help you learn on proper racing equipment, these would be an excellent choice. Beginners might want to start with more affordable tyres and upgrade to these Prism 2.0 CR4 tyres once they're ready to race competitively.
- Can I use these tyres on outdoor surfaces? — No, these tyres are specifically engineered for high-grip carpet racing surfaces. Using them on outdoor surfaces like concrete, asphalt, or dirt would cause rapid and excessive wear, damage the pins, and provide poor performance. These tyres are designed exclusively for indoor carpet tracks.
- What wheel size do I need for these tyres? — These are 2.2 inch tyres designed for standard 1/10 scale off-road buggy wheels. You'll need 2.2 inch wheel rims that are compatible with your 1/10 buggy. The tyres come unmounted, so you'll need to install them on your existing 2.2 inch wheels or purchase compatible wheels separately.
- How do I mount the tyres in different orientations for different grip levels? — The directional side tread feature allows you to remount the tyres with either the standard Prism pins or the vertical side pins facing outward. For maximum aggressive grip, mount them with the standard Prism pins on the outside. For more forgiving, progressive grip, mount them with the vertical side pins facing outward. This can be done by simply removing the tyres from your wheels and rotating them 180 degrees before remounting.
- How long do these tyres last? — The enhanced Prism 2.0 design with more ultra-sharp pins provides longer lasting tread compared to previous versions, and the pins stay sharp even as they wear down for consistent performance. The lifespan depends on how frequently you race and the intensity of your driving, but these are built for durability and will outlast lower-quality carpet racing tyres.
- Are these tyres approved for racing at UK carpet tracks? — These are professional-grade Pro-Line racing tyres trusted at the highest levels of competitive carpet racing worldwide, including championship-winning performances. However, specific track rules and regulations vary by venue, so you should check with your local UK carpet racing track to confirm any tyre restrictions before purchasing.
