Technical Performance
The PRO 1/10 Prism 2.0 CR4 4WD Front 2.2 inch Carpet Buggy Tires are engineered at the highest level of performance standards. As part of Pro-Line's dedicated CR compound range, these tyres feature precision-engineered rubber formulations that have been developed specifically for the unique demands of indoor carpet racing. The CR4 compound provides a soft, grippy tyre option that excels on high-grip carpet surfaces, offering superior adhesion compared to harder compounds. The tyre's construction incorporates a carefully balanced carcass design that manages sidewall flex to provide responsive steering input without sacrificing stability. The 2.2-inch sizing makes these compatible with standard 1/10 scale 4WD buggy front wheels, fitting perfectly into the growing ecosystem of 1/10 carpet off-road racing equipment available in the UK. The precision-moulded tread pattern, featuring the distinctive combination of hook and prism-shaped pins, is cut to exact tolerances to ensure consistency from tyre to tyre. These are sold as a matched pair, so you receive two identical front tyres ready for installation. The engineering quality reflects Pro-Line's commitment to delivering competition-grade equipment that performs reliably across multiple race meetings, with the structural integrity needed to withstand the demands of serious carpet racing without premature wear or performance degradation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres suitable for competitive carpet racing in the UK? — Yes, absolutely. The CR4 soft compound has already proven itself at the highest levels of international competition, winning at the 2021 US Carpet Off-Road Championship. These tyres are specifically engineered for competitive carpet racing and are trusted by Pro-Line's factory racing team.
- What is the difference between CR3 and CR4 compounds? — Pro-Line offers two dedicated carpet compounds in the Prism 2.0 range: CR3 (Medium) and CR4 (Soft). The CR4 is softer and provides maximum grip, making it ideal for drivers seeking the absolute best traction and consistency on high-grip carpet surfaces, whilst the CR3 is a medium compound offering a balance between grip and durability.
- Will these front tyres work with other brands of RC buggies? — These tyres are sized at 2.2-inch front and are designed for 1/10 scale 4WD buggies. They will fit any 1/10 scale buggy with standard 2.2-inch front wheels, though Pro-Line recommends pairing these front tyres with Pro-Line's Prism Rear tyres for optimal balanced performance across your entire vehicle.
- What do the hook-shaped pins and prism-shaped pins do? — The tread design combines two different pin shapes working in concert. The iconic hook-shaped wedge pins are Pro-Line's proven design for forward traction, whilst the new ultra-sharp prism-shaped pins provide additional grip and consistency. Together, these deliver incredible forward grip and predictable handling on carpet surfaces.
- How do the new carcass shape improvements benefit handling? — The Prism 2.0 features a redesigned carcass that provides more steering response in low-speed corners, giving you better control during technical track sections. At the same time, the improved carcass structure offers more forgiveness and stability at high speeds, allowing you to push harder on straightaways with confidence.
- Are these tyres ready to fit to my buggy immediately? — These are the tyres only and do not include wheels or mounting hardware. You will need to mount these tyres onto your existing 2.2-inch RC buggy wheels. Once mounted and balanced, they are ready for installation on your 1/10 4WD buggy.
