Overview
This is a pair of Fugitive 1:8 Buggy Tires. WORLD CHAMPION!!! The same tire that Ty Tessmann used to win the World Championships in Italy is now available to you! Pro-Line is putting the competition on the Run with the all-new Fugitive race tire! The Fugitive was developed to be the longest-lasting race tire ever produced while still being quick and agile. In the past, the prevailing knowledge for creating a new tire that lasted throughout the long A-Mains in extreme wear conditions was to design a big and tall tire tread that was spaced out. While this was effective for the day, the tall and stiff tread numbed out the handling and didn't have the speed of the smaller pin race tires.
Pro-Line's all-new Fugitive tire sets the standard for wear and performance with a whole new design philosophy - small, tightly packed pins that can handle the abuse of being run on concrete. When combined with Pro-Line's incredible S-Compounds, the Fugitive easily has the best performance to cost ratio of any Pro-Line tire making it perfect for many European style tracks.
Be the first one outrunning the competition with the Fugitive!

- 1:8 Buggy Wheels Front or Rear
Overview
The Pro-Line 1/8 Fugitive S4 Front/Rear Off-Road Buggy Tyres represent a championship-winning product now available to RC enthusiasts across the UK. These are the identical tyres used by Ty Tessmann to achieve world championship victory in Italy, bringing professional-grade performance to your 1/8 scale RC buggy. Whether you're racing competitively or enjoying weekend bashing sessions, the Fugitive tyres deliver the durability, grip and agility that serious RC car UK competitors demand.
Pro-Line has fundamentally reimagined what an off-road buggy tyre should be with the Fugitive. The all-new design philosophy breaks away from traditional thinking that prioritised tall, widely-spaced tread patterns. Instead, Pro-Line engineered small, tightly-packed pins that can withstand the demanding conditions of concrete track racing whilst maintaining exceptional handling characteristics. This innovative approach means you get a tyre that lasts throughout long A-Mains in extreme wear conditions without sacrificing the speed and agility that separates winning setups from the competition.
Perfect for European-style tracks and extreme wear environments with minimal dust generation, the Fugitive S4 tyres deliver an incredible performance-to-cost ratio that makes them accessible to club racers, serious bashers and competitive drivers alike. With Pro-Line's S-Compound technology and closed-cell foam inserts included, this pair of tyres represents outstanding value for anyone seeking world-class off-road buggy performance in the UK RC market.

Technical Performance
The Pro-Line Fugitive S4 represents a significant engineering advancement in 1/8 scale off-road buggy tyre technology. The tyre's small, densely-packed pin structure creates multiple contact points with the track surface, generating superior grip whilst distributing wear evenly across the tread. This engineering approach delivers substantial performance improvements in both dry and slick conditions, with the advanced S-Compound formula providing maximum traction on low-bite surfaces that are typical of many European-style club tracks and commercial racing facilities across the UK. The compliant carcass design allows for controlled tyre expansion during cornering and acceleration, translating into improved handling response and predictable driving characteristics that give you the confidence to brake later and accelerate earlier. The closed-cell foam inserts included with each pair work in concert with the tyre compound to maintain consistent shape, reduce rolling resistance and provide structural support during the sustained cornering loads encountered in competitive 1/8 buggy racing. Medium wear characteristics on wet surfaces mean the Fugitive tyres remain effective even in damp conditions, whilst staying substantially stable throughout long main events without the fade or softening that can compromise performance near the finish line. The ultra long-lasting compound formula represents a substantial advancement in grip technology, combining durability with consistent performance across extended racing distances. Whether you're running higher track temperatures requiring a firmer compound or cooler conditions where a softer material delivers maximum bite, Pro-Line's compound range ensures you can always select the optimal tyre specification for your racing environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are the Pro-Line Fugitive S4 tyres suitable for beginners? — Yes, these tyres are perfect for drivers at all skill levels. Whilst they're championship-proven and used by professional racers, their consistent performance, forgiving handling characteristics and exceptional durability make them an excellent choice for club racers and beginners learning 1/8 scale buggy racing. The predictable grip and responsive feedback help newer drivers develop smooth throttle control and consistent lines.
- What makes the Fugitive S4 better than other 1/8 buggy tyres? — The Fugitive S4 combines several advantages: it's the tyre that won the World Championships, features innovative small tightly-packed pins instead of traditional tall tread patterns, includes the advanced S-Compound formula for superior grip, and delivers an incredible performance-to-cost ratio. The tyre was specifically engineered to last throughout long A-Mains whilst maintaining speed and agility, addressing the compromise that other tyres have traditionally forced drivers to make.
- Will these tyres work on concrete tracks? — The Fugitive S4 is specifically designed for concrete track racing and extreme wear conditions. The tightly-packed pin design can handle the demanding friction of concrete surfaces without excessive wear, making these tyres ideal for both indoor facilities and outdoor concrete tracks common throughout the UK.
- How do I choose between firmer and softer compound options? — Use the firmer compound material when track temperatures are higher, as it resists softening and maintains grip consistency in warm conditions. Select the softer compound when temperatures are lower, as the additional compliance delivers maximum bite and traction in cooler environments. Track temperature and ambient weather conditions should guide your selection.
- What is included with the tyres? — Each pair of Fugitive S4 tyres comes complete with two closed-cell foam inserts. These professional-grade inserts provide structural support, maintain tyre shape and reduce rolling resistance, meaning you have everything necessary for complete off-the-shelf performance.
- Are the Fugitive S4 suitable for extreme wear track conditions? — Absolutely. The Fugitive S4 was engineered specifically for extreme wear conditions, featuring a durable compound and innovative tread design that generates minimal dust whilst providing exceptional tyre life. These tyres are perfect for high-friction environments where standard tyres wear too quickly.
- What is the performance-to-cost ratio like? — The Fugitive S4 offers an incredible balance of cost-effectiveness and performance. Pro-Line has created a championship-quality tyre that delivers substantial performance improvements over budget alternatives whilst remaining accessible to club racers and serious bashers. You get world-class tyre technology without premium pricing.
