Overview
This is a pair of Toyo Proxes R888R 53/100 2.9" S3 (Soft) Street BELTED Tires mounted on Spectre wheels. Pro-Line is proud to announce a partnership with one of the leading performance tire manufacturers - Toyo Tires! This collaboration begins with our first tire for the popular ARRMA® 1/7 Street Bash line of vehicles - the Toyo Proxes R888R.
The Toyo Proxes 53/100 allows Infraction™ owners to run a larger tire in the rear without changing any gearing. Use Felony™ bodies to allow clearance for the wider tire.
All the details from the full-size high-performance competition tire have been recreated to give your Infraction™ the ultimate in scale looks, street performance, and long-lasting wear. The Proxes R888R is known for extreme grip, cornering, and braking stability in the full-scale world on track, and it's no different in the RC world as these tires will transform the handling of your car or truck. The large tread blocks on the outside tread maximize lateral grip while the wide center rib improves directional stability for all-out speed runs. A High-Performance herringbone weave pattern Belt reinforces the inside of the Proxes for high-speed runs, while our S3 compound provides long-lasting tire wear.
Inspired by 1:1 GT3 racing wheels, the Spectre 10-spoke wheel gives your Infraction™ a striking look with a satin gunmetal finish and amazing scale detailing. The Proxes/Spectre combo comes pre-mounted so you don't have to worry about gluing your tires or waiting for them to dry. Get maximum grip and stability so you can be faster than your buddies with Pro-Line's Toyo Proxes R888R BELTED street tires!
Pair this tire with the 42/100 2.9" size (PRO1019910), for the front ARRMA® Infraction™.
Please note these tires have a maximum speed rating that, if exceeded, could result in permanently damaging the internal belt. For the Proxes 53/100 tires that is 100 mph or about 8500 RPM. Over-revving your tires could result in breaking the internal belt, which will NOT be covered under warranty. This can be caused by "diffing out" your tires or holding the throttle open while one, two, or three of your tires are stopped, which substantially increases the RPM sent to the free-spinning tire or tires.
Please note: All tires & wheels are sold in pairs, unless otherwise noted

Overview
The Pro-Line 1/7 Toyo Proxes R888R S3 F/R 53/100 2.9 inch BELTED MTD 17mm Spectre wheel and tyre set represents a genuine breakthrough in RC street bash performance. This is a pair of premium tyres mounted on stunning GT3-inspired wheels, designed specifically for the ARRMA Infraction 6S and other 1/7 scale street vehicles. Whether you're a dedicated RC car UK enthusiast looking to upgrade your existing setup or searching for ready to run RC street tyres that deliver authentic performance, this product brings the legendary Toyo Proxes experience from the full-size racing world directly to your RC vehicle.
Pro-Line has partnered with Toyo Tires, one of the world's leading high-performance tyre manufacturers, to create an authentically scaled replica of the iconic Proxes R888R track tyre. This collaboration demonstrates a commitment to delivering genuine performance improvements rather than cosmetic upgrades. The Toyo Proxes 53/100 allows Infraction owners to run a significantly larger tyre in the rear without requiring any gearing changes, transforming both the visual presence and handling characteristics of your vehicle. For maximum compatibility and visual balance, pair these rear tyres with the 42/100 2.9 inch size for your front wheels.
What makes this package truly special is that the tyres arrive pre-mounted on the Spectre wheels, eliminating the need for gluing, drying time, or separate wheel purchases. You can have your RC ready to bash immediately upon arrival. The combination of exceptional grip, improved directional stability, and long-lasting wear means you'll spend more time driving and less time replacing components, making this an outstanding investment for any serious RC enthusiast in the UK.
Key Features
- Licensed Toyo Proxes R888R Tyre Design — These are genuine licensed replicas of the world-famous Toyo Proxes R888R high-performance track tyre, meaning all the tread patterns, scale detailing, and design elements have been faithfully recreated from the full-size version, giving your 1/7 scale RC that authentic racing look and the performance credentials that come with it.
- S3 Soft Compound Rubber — The S3 compound is Pro-Line's long-wear soft rubber formulation specifically engineered to provide maximum grip and cornering performance whilst maintaining durability across extended driving sessions, making it ideal for both competitive runs and casual bashing.
- Belted Construction with Herringbone Weave Pattern — The high-performance herringbone weave pattern belt reinforces the inside of the Proxes tyres, providing structural support during high-speed runs and preventing tyre degradation even when pushing your RC to its limits.
- Large Outer Tread Blocks for Lateral Grip — The strategically positioned large tread blocks on the outside of the tyre maximise lateral grip during aggressive cornering, allowing you to maintain control and speed through high-G turns that would challenge standard tyres.
- Wide Centre Rib for Directional Stability — The pronounced centre rib running down the length of the tyre improves directional stability during straight-line speed runs and high-speed acceleration, ensuring your RC tracks true and predictable even at maximum velocity.
- GT3-Inspired 10-Spoke Spectre Wheels — These wheels draw design inspiration from genuine 1:1 GT3 racing wheels, featuring a distinctive 10-spoke configuration that delivers striking scale realism and authentic motorsport aesthetics to your vehicle.
- Satin Gunmetal Finish — The wheels feature an attractive satin gunmetal finish that complements modern RC bodies beautifully, with an understated elegance that works across a variety of colour schemes and body styles.
- Super Scale Detailing — Beyond the basic wheel design, Pro-Line has added exceptional scale detailing throughout the Spectre wheel construction, including realistic rim details that enhance the overall visual authenticity of your RC street bash setup.
- Pre-Mounted for Immediate Use — The tyres arrive already mounted on the wheels, eliminating the time-consuming process of gluing, waiting for adhesive to cure, and balancing wheels separately, allowing you to start driving immediately upon delivery.
- Made in the USA Since 1982 — Pro-Line manufactures these components in the United States, benefiting from decades of engineering expertise and quality control standards that ensure consistency and reliability in every package.
- Available in 47mm and 53mm Widths — These particular tyres are the 53mm width variant, offering a wider footprint for enhanced stability and more aggressive stance compared to the narrower option, though both sizes maintain compatibility with the same vehicles.
- 17mm Hex Fit — The 17mm hexagonal hub connection is the standard specification for 1/7 scale vehicles including the ARRMA Infraction 6S, ensuring perfect compatibility without adapters or modifications.
Technical Performance
The Pro-Line Toyo Proxes R888R represents the convergence of authentic racing tyre design and RC-specific engineering. The 53/100 specification indicates the width and diameter measurements, providing a larger rolling diameter than standard street bash tyres whilst maintaining proportional sidewall thickness appropriate for 1/7 scale vehicles. The S3 soft compound is engineered to provide superior grip across varying surface conditions whilst resisting wear better than ultra-soft alternatives, making it genuinely versatile for both circuit runs and street bashing. The belted construction inside the tyre is critical for high-speed performance—the herringbone weave pattern provides structural reinforcement that prevents internal deformation during aggressive acceleration and cornering, significantly extending tyre lifespan compared to non-belted alternatives. The closed-cell foam inserts further contribute to performance by maintaining consistent pressure and response characteristics throughout the drive session. At maximum speed, these tyres have a rating of 100 mph equivalent, which translates to approximately 8500 RPM on a standard 1/7 vehicle—exceeding this specification can permanently damage the internal belt structure. The Spectre wheels themselves, measuring 2.9 inches in diameter, are engineered with precision tolerances to ensure perfect balance and consistent performance. The combined product height of 3.93 inches and width of 2.08 inches creates a tyre package that delivers enhanced ground clearance and stability compared to smaller alternatives, though you may require Felony bodies or similar platforms with adequate wheel well clearance to accommodate the wider 53mm specification. These are genuine pre-mounted assemblies, with each pair weighing appropriately for the scale and construction method, and arriving in perfect ready-to-run condition.
What's in the Box

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres suitable for both on-road circuit and street bashing? — Yes, absolutely. The S3 soft compound and balanced tread design make the Proxes R888R versatile enough for both disciplined circuit driving and casual street bashing. However, they excel particularly in street conditions and high-speed runs where their directional stability and grip characteristics shine.
- What is the maximum safe speed for these tyres? — Pro-Line rates the Proxes 53/100 tyres with a maximum speed of 100 mph equivalent, or approximately 8500 RPM on a standard 1/7 scale vehicle. Exceeding this speed can permanently damage the internal belt structure and will not be covered under warranty. Avoid diffing out your tyres or holding throttle whilst wheels are stationary, as this dramatically increases RPM on free-spinning tyres.
- Will these tyres fit my ARRMA Infraction 6S? — These are specifically designed for the ARRMA Infraction 6S with the 17mm hex hub specification. However, the 53/100 width is wider than standard, so you may require Felony bodies or similar platform bodies with additional wheel well clearance to avoid rubbing. Confirm your body compatibility before purchase.
- What makes the belted construction important? — The belted construction with herringbone weave pattern provides critical structural support during high-speed driving and aggressive cornering. This reinforcement prevents internal tyre deformation, significantly extends tyre lifespan, and enables consistent performance even during extended high-RPM runs that would challenge non-belted alternatives.
- How do the Proxes R888R compare to standard street bash tyres? — The Proxes R888R offers superior grip, cornering stability, and braking performance compared to basic street tyres, whilst the S3 compound provides exceptional wear resistance. The licensed design ensures authentic Toyo Proxes geometry that delivers measurable performance improvements across most driving styles.
- Are these tyres pre-mounted or do I need to glue them? — These arrive completely pre-mounted on the Spectre wheels, ready to install directly on your vehicle. You avoid all gluing, curing time, and installation hassles—simply unbox and drive.
- What is the difference between the 42/100 and 53/100 sizes? — The 53/100 rear tyres featured here are wider and designed to deliver a more aggressive stance with enhanced stability, particularly beneficial for high-speed runs. The 42/100 front tyres are narrower for better steering response and weight distribution, so pairing them creates optimal handling balance across your vehicle.
