Overview
This is a pair of Positron 2.2 S3 Compound Rear Buggy Tires. Designed from the ground up with an all-new carcass shape and futuristic directional tread design, the Positron delivers true next generation performance with improved grip and corner speed on indoor clay tracks. The tread design pays homage to the Electron and ION tire before it with the 2 center pins boxed in by connected bars for a familiar Pro-Line signature look. From there the connected bars shoot off at angles that have been specifically designed to provide ideal steering feel when combined with the Positron Rear tire all while lasting longer than the competition. The Positron is directional, which adds another tuning option for the racers always looking for that extra edge since it will perform differently depending on which direction it is run.
S3 is Pro-Line's newest tire compound for racing at the highest level. S3 is similar to X3 as it is a Soft and long-lasting compound but S3 is a substantial leap forward in terms of grip in both dry and slick conditions. Another massive improvement is that S3 stays stable throughout long main events and does not fade or get soft near the end of the race.

Overview
The Pro-Line 1/10 Positron S3 Rear 2.2 inch Off-Road Buggy Tires represent the latest evolution in competitive RC buggy tyre technology, designed specifically for racers who demand peak performance on indoor clay tracks. These premium racing tyres deliver next-generation performance that sets a new standard for grip, durability and consistency in the RC buggy racing community across the UK and beyond. Whether you're competing at your local RC car club or preparing for regional championships, the Positron S3 tyres provide the competitive edge that separates winning setups from the rest of the field.
Engineered from the ground up with an all-new carcass shape and futuristic directional tread design, the Positron S3 tyres showcase Pro-Line's commitment to innovation and performance. These are not simply incremental updates to existing designs—they represent a substantial leap forward in tyre technology that delivers improved grip, exceptional corner speed and superior longevity compared to previous generation race tyres. The directional design adds another crucial tuning dimension for serious RC racers always looking for that extra competitive advantage, as these tyres will perform differently depending on which direction they are run, allowing you to fine-tune your buggy's behaviour on the track.
The Positron S3 compound is Pro-Line's newest and most advanced soft tyre formulation developed for racing at the highest competitive levels. Building on the proven foundation of the X3 compound, the S3 represents a substantial leap forward in terms of grip in both dry and slick track conditions. Perhaps most importantly for racers running long main events, the S3 compound stays remarkably stable throughout extended racing sessions and does not fade or lose grip near the end of the race, ensuring your buggy maintains consistent performance when it matters most.
Key Features
- All-New Ground-Up Design for Maximum Performance — The Positron S3 tyres have been completely redesigned from scratch rather than simply updated, incorporating an innovative new carcass shape and construction that delivers superior performance characteristics for competitive off-road buggy racing.
- Futuristic Directional Tread Design — The advanced tread pattern has been engineered with a futuristic aesthetic that combines Pro-Line's signature look with modern directional flow, providing consistent grip and handling characteristics across varying track conditions and surfaces.
- S3 Soft Tyre Compound for High-Level Racing — The exclusive S3 compound is Pro-Line's newest and most advanced soft tyre formulation, engineered specifically for competitive racing and offering substantially improved grip in both dry and slick conditions compared to previous compound generations.
- Improved Tyre Wear Over Previous Race Tyres — The Positron S3 tyres last significantly longer than competing race tyres, reducing replacement frequency and providing superior value for racers who run multiple qualifying rounds and main events during a racing day.
- Angled Connected Bars for Maximum Forward Bite and Unmatched Corner Speed — The tread design features connected bars positioned at specific angles to provide ideal forward grip and steering feel when paired with the Positron Rear tyre, delivering unmatched cornering performance and consistent handling through technical track sections.
- Directional Performance Tuning Option — These tyres are directional, meaning you can tune your buggy's performance characteristics by choosing which direction to run the tyres, adding another valuable adjustment option for racers constantly seeking competitive advantages.
- Compound Stability Throughout Long Main Events — Unlike softer tyres that lose grip as temperatures rise during extended racing, the S3 compound maintains stable performance and does not fade or become overly soft near the end of long race mains, ensuring consistent lap times when victory is on the line.
Technical Performance
The Positron S3 Rear 2.2 inch Off-Road Buggy Tires deliver performance engineered specifically for 1/10 scale RC buggies used in competitive racing on indoor clay tracks throughout the UK and internationally. The tyre size of 2.2 inches is the standard specification for 1/10 scale rear buggy applications, providing optimal load carrying capacity and performance characteristics for this class of vehicle. The S3 compound represents a substantial engineering achievement, offering a soft racing formulation that achieves the critical balance between providing maximum grip for acceleration and cornering while maintaining durability across multiple qualifying heats and main events. The all-new carcass design works in conjunction with the directional tread pattern to deliver consistent steering response and corner speed, whilst the internal foam inserts (included) provide structural support and maintain tyre shape during aggressive cornering and acceleration. The directional nature of these tyres adds a sophisticated tuning dimension—running them in different directions changes the tyre's performance characteristics, allowing experienced racers to fine-tune their setup for specific track conditions. The improved wear characteristics compared to previous generation Pro-Line racing tyres mean you'll spend less time replacing worn rubber and more time actually racing, making these tyres an economical choice for serious competitors who run multiple rounds of racing each week.
