Overview
Take your Losi Mini-B to the next level with the Pro-Line Prism Rear Carpet Mini-B Tyres Mounted on 8mm Yellow Wheels. This is the ultimate choice for RC enthusiasts in the UK who want to experience genuine carpet racing performance with their mini 1/16 scale buggy. The Mini-B is one of the most exciting mini vehicles released in recent years, and Pro-Line has engineered these specialist carpet tyres specifically to unlock its true potential on indoor carpet tracks. Whether you're setting up a dedicated carpet racing track or creating a competitive course in your living room, these pre-mounted rear tyres will transform your Mini-B into a serious carpet racing machine.
Perfect for anyone looking to race their friends at the local carpet track or explore the growing mini racing community in the UK, the Prism rear tyres deliver consistent, predictable performance that will help you shave seconds off your lap times. These are not general-purpose tyres — they are purpose-built carpet racing compounds developed by Pro-Line's engineering team to provide maximum grip, traction and longevity on carpet surfaces. The convenience of pre-mounted tyres means you can unbox them and start racing immediately, without the hassle of fitting and balancing.
As an authorised RC car UK retailer, RC Model Shop stocks only genuine Pro-Line products, and we understand what serious mini racers need. The Prism rear tyres are sold as a pair and are compatible with all Losi 1/16 Mini-B variants, including the brushed RTR models and the brushless RTR versions in blue, white and red.
Key Features
- Ultra-Sharp Prism-Shaped Pins — The defining characteristic of these tyres is their innovative Prism-shaped tread pattern, which features ultra-sharp pins specifically designed for long-lasting carpet racing performance. The pins are positioned with the knife edge pointed front to back and side to side, maximising grip and control through every corner and straightaway.
- Pins Stay Sharp During Use — Unlike conventional tyres that gradually wear down and lose grip, the geometric design of the Prism pins means they maintain their sharpness even as the tyre compound wears, ensuring very consistent performance throughout the life of the tyres. This translates to reliable lap times and predictable handling characteristics.
- Special Carpet Racing Compound — The tyres are manufactured from a proprietary carpet-specific rubber compound that has been engineered to deliver exceptional grip on carpet surfaces whilst maintaining durability through extended racing sessions. This dedicated compound provides the responsive feel and high grip levels that carpet racers demand.
- Pre-Mounted on Yellow Mini-B Rear Wheels — The Prism tyres come conveniently pre-mounted to genuine Pro-Line yellow Mini-B rear wheels, eliminating the need for separate tyre fitting, balancing or wheel purchasing. Simply unbox and install on your Mini-B — they are ready to race immediately.
- Soft Open Cell Foam Included — Each pair of pre-mounted tyres includes soft open cell foam inserts, which provide essential support, shape retention and consistent performance characteristics. The foam is specifically selected to work with the Prism tyre compound for optimal results.
- Pair with Wedge Front Tyres for Complete Setup — To achieve maximum carpet racing performance, Pro-Line recommends pairing these Prism rear tyres with the dedicated Wedge front tyres (part number 8298-13), creating a complete matched carpet racing tyre package that works in harmony for balanced handling and predictable performance.
Technical Performance
The Pro-Line Prism Rear Carpet Mini-B Tyres represent serious engineering focused entirely on carpet track performance. At 59mm in height and 29mm in width, these tyres are sized specifically for the Losi Mini-B 1/16 scale buggy platform, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal performance characteristics. The 8mm wheel size matches the Mini-B's rear hub specification precisely, guaranteeing secure mounting and correct suspension geometry. The special carpet racing compound used in these tyres has been formulated to deliver maximum grip on typical carpet track surfaces whilst maintaining durability through competitive race sessions. The Prism pin geometry is engineered with multiple contact edges, meaning that even as the leading edge of each pin wears down through use, secondary cutting edges become available, preserving grip and performance for longer than conventional tyre designs. The soft open cell foam insert provides critical suspension characteristics, maintaining tyre shape and consistency lap after lap. Built to exacting Pro-Line standards, these tyres represent the company's commitment to specialist performance rather than general-purpose versatility. Whether you're competing in organised Mini-B carpet racing events or running casual time trials with fellow enthusiasts, the Prism rear tyres will give you the performance and consistency needed to be competitive.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres suitable for beginners to mini RC racing in the UK? — Yes, absolutely. Whilst these are purpose-built carpet racing tyres, they are straightforward to use and offer consistent, predictable performance that actually helps new racers develop their skills. The sharp Prism pins give reliable grip that makes it easier to learn smooth driving lines. However, they are specifically designed for carpet tracks; if you need tyres for carpet racing, these are an excellent choice regardless of your experience level.
- Can I use these on other Mini-B variants or only specific models? — These Prism rear tyres are designed to fit all Losi 1/16 Mini-B variants. The 8mm wheel size and tyre dimensions are standard across the Mini-B platform, making them compatible with both brushed and brushless RTR versions, as well as any custom Mini-B builds using original Losi parts.
- What is the difference between the Prism and Wedge tyre options? — The Prism tyres featured here are specifically engineered for rear use on carpet tracks, with their distinctive pin geometry optimised for rear-wheel traction. The Wedge tyres (part number 8298-13) are designed for the front axle and feature a different compound and tread pattern suited to front-end grip and steering response. Pro-Line recommends running both as a matched pair for the best overall performance.
- Do I need to fit these tyres myself, or are they ready to use? — These tyres come completely pre-mounted on yellow Mini-B wheels with foam inserts already installed. You simply fit the assembled wheel and tyre units to your Mini-B's rear hubs — no tyre mounting, balancing or foam installation required. This is one of the major conveniences of this product.
- How long do carpet racing tyres typically last? — The longevity of carpet racing tyres depends on how frequently you race and the intensity of your use. The Prism pin design is engineered to maintain grip even as the tyre wears, but eventually all racing tyres will require replacement. Regular use at a local carpet track might see a set lasting several months; casual recreational use will extend this considerably. The proprietary compound and Prism pin geometry are optimised for durability within the carpet racing discipline.
- Can I use these tyres on non-carpet surfaces like asphalt or grass? — These tyres are specifically engineered and formulated for carpet track use. The soft compound and Prism pin design are optimised for maximum grip on carpet; on harder surfaces like asphalt, the compound will wear much faster and performance will be compromised. For non-carpet use, you would need dedicated off-road or asphalt racing tyres.
