Key Features
- Revolutionary Tread Design — The Blockade features a thoughtfully engineered tread pattern with large lugs that deliver class-leading tread life, ensuring your investment lasts through multiple race events and practice sessions without premature wear.
- Perfectly Balanced Tread Spacing — The tyre's tread elements are precisely spaced to maximise forward bite and acceleration out of corners, giving you the edge needed to achieve qualifying speed at your local RC track.
- Uniquely Blended Side Tread — Unlike standard race tyres that can feel edgy and unpredictable during aggressive cornering, the Blockade's side wall tread has been specially formulated to reduce this harsh feedback, resulting in more predictable and controllable handling characteristics.
- Competition-Proven Performance — With a victory at the 2011 ROAR Nationals, the Blockade has proven itself under the most demanding competitive conditions against the best drivers and equipment in the hobby.
- Next-Generation Closed Cell Foam Inserts — Each pair includes Pro-Line's advanced foam inserts that provide consistent support and sidewall stability throughout long racing events, preventing tyre expansion and maintaining performance until the final lap.
- Lab Certified Compounds — Pro-Line's compounds are rigorously tested to ensure maximum grip on low-bite surfaces with compliant carcass construction that produces controlled traction without unpredictable expansion.
- Ultra Long-Lasting Formula — The compound formulation represents a substantial leap forward in grip performance across dry and slick conditions, whilst maintaining stability throughout A-main events without fading or softening near the finish.
- Front and Rear Versatility — These tyres are designed to perform exceptionally as both front and rear fitment on 1/8 scale buggies, simplifying tyre management and inventory for competitive racers.
Technical Performance
The Pro-Line Blockade M4 tyres represent the pinnacle of 1/8 scale off-road buggy tyre technology, engineered through years of competitive racing experience and laboratory testing. The M4 designation indicates a precisely calibrated compound blend optimised for delivering maximum grip in both dry and slick track conditions whilst maintaining mechanical stability throughout extended racing sessions. The carcass construction is complaint yet responsive, providing traction with controlled expansion—a critical balance that separates premium race tyres from standard hobby-grade alternatives. The large lug design maximises the contact patch and tread life, allowing drivers to complete multiple qualifying heats and A-main races without experiencing significant performance degradation. The tread spacing has been refined through countless hours of track testing to optimise forward bite and acceleration, which translates directly into faster lap times when you're chasing that top qualifying position. The uniquely blended side wall tread is perhaps the most innovative aspect of the Blockade's design; by reducing the harsh, edgy feel common in competitor products, Pro-Line has created a tyre that feels more natural and predictable when pushed to the limits. These are tyres engineered by racers for racers, with every millimetre of the design serving a specific performance purpose. The included closed cell foam inserts are manufactured to strict tolerances, ensuring consistent support and preventing the tyre expansion issues that plague lesser-quality inserts. Pro-Line's quality control means that each set of tyres performs identically to the last, crucial for competitors who need consistency from practice through the A-main event.
