Key Features
- Even More Ultra-Sharp Prism Shaped Pins — The Prism 2.0 features an increased number of ultra-sharp prism-shaped pins compared to the original Prism design, providing extended tread life and more consistent performance throughout a race or practice session, ensuring your tyres maintain their grip even as they wear down.
- Low Profile Tire Shape for Faster Lap Times — The new lower profile tyre carcass shape lowers your car's centre of gravity, which directly translates to improved corner speed and more predictable handling characteristics on high-grip carpet surfaces, helping you achieve faster and more consistent lap times.
- Knife-Edge Pin Orientation — The Prism pins are positioned with the knife edge pointed front to back and side to side for maximum grip, with the pin design engineered to stay sharp and effective even as they wear down during extended racing sessions, maintaining performance consistency lap after lap.
- Directional Side Tread for Performance Tuning — The new tyre features directional side tread that allows you to tune the performance of your tyres to suit the current track conditions you're racing on, giving you flexibility and competitive advantage on varying carpet surfaces.
- Tuneable Grip Profile — You can choose to mount the standard Prism pins on the outside for more aggressive grip when you need maximum traction, or you can mount the vertical side pins to the outside for a more forgiving and consistent grip profile when track conditions demand a more balanced approach.
- CR3 Medium Compound — The CR3 medium compound provides the perfect balance between grip and tyre life for most carpet racing conditions, offering improved grip and consistency across many different styles of carpet surface and track preparation.
- Long Lasting Performance — Engineered for durability and consistency, these tyres are designed to maintain their performance characteristics throughout extended racing sessions, qualifying rounds and main events without premature wear or loss of grip.

Technical Performance
The Prism 2.0 CR3 represents the pinnacle of Pro-Line's carpet tyre engineering, combining advanced materials, precision manufacturing and extensive field testing to deliver a race-ready tyre that outperforms the original Prism design. The ultra-sharp prism-shaped pin design is the result of meticulous engineering, with each pin carefully positioned to maximise surface contact and grip whilst maintaining structural integrity under the demanding loads experienced during aggressive cornering and acceleration on high-grip carpet surfaces. The low profile tyre carcass is a key innovation that directly impacts vehicle handling by reducing unsprung weight and lowering the overall centre of gravity of your 1/10 scale buggy, resulting in faster entry speeds into corners and improved mid-corner stability. The knife-edge pin orientation, with edges pointing both front-to-back and side-to-side, ensures maximum grip initiation whilst the design maintains sharpness even as the tyre wears, unlike traditional pin designs that become rounded and less effective with use. The directional side tread feature is unique in the carpet racing market, providing genuine performance tuning capability by allowing drivers to select between the standard Prism pin configuration on the outside for maximum aggression, or the vertical side pin configuration for a more progressive and forgiving grip curve. The CR3 medium compound has been formulated specifically for carpet racing conditions, offering the optimal balance of grip, consistency and tyre life that works across a wide range of track preparations and conditions. This 2.2 inch rear tyre is specifically dimensioned for 1/10 scale buggy chassis and is supplied as a pair, ready to fit to your rear wheels with the appropriate wheel adaptors and fasteners.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are Prism 2.0 CR3 tyres suitable for competitive carpet racing? — Yes, absolutely. These tyres have been developed and tested by Pro-Line's professional factory racing team specifically for competitive carpet racing. The CR3 medium compound has proven itself in high-level competition, and the advanced Prism 2.0 design with increased pin count and optimised carcass shape is engineered for serious racers who want to maximise their lap times and consistency on carpet surfaces.
- What is the difference between CR3 and CR4 compounds? — The CR3 is a medium compound designed for versatile performance across various carpet conditions, whilst the CR4 is a softer compound that provides maximum grip in ideal conditions. The CR4 has already secured victory at the 2021 US Carpet Off-Road Championship, making it ideal for perfect carpet conditions, whilst the CR3 offers more consistency across varying track preparations and is the ideal choice for most club and regional racing situations.
- Can I tune the grip profile of these tyres? — Yes, one of the standout features of the Prism 2.0 is the directional side tread design that allows you to select your desired grip profile. Mount the standard Prism pins to the outside for maximum aggressive grip, or use the vertical side pins to the outside for a more forgiving and progressive feel that suits different track conditions and your driving style preferences.
- How long do Prism 2.0 tyres last compared to other carpet racing tyres? — The Prism 2.0 features even more ultra-sharp prism-shaped pins compared to the original Prism design, which contributes to longer-lasting tread performance. The pin design maintains its sharpness even as the tyre wears, meaning you get more consistent performance throughout the tyre's lifespan, and the increased number of pins in the design means extended overall tyre life compared to designs with fewer pins.
- Will the Prism 2.0 tyres fit my 1/10 scale buggy? — These are rear 2.2 inch tyres designed specifically for 1/10 scale buggy chassis. You'll need to verify that your chassis is compatible with 2.2 inch rear tyres and that you have the appropriate wheel adaptors and mounting hardware for your specific chassis model. Check your buggy's specifications before ordering to ensure compatibility.
- What makes the low profile tyre carcass beneficial? — The lower profile tyre carcass shape lowers your car's centre of gravity, which directly improves handling characteristics and allows for faster entry speeds into corners. This geometry change results in more predictable handling and improved mid-corner stability, ultimately translating to faster and more consistent lap times on carpet surfaces.
- Are these tyres tested on the racing circuit? — Yes, the Prism 2.0 is part of Pro-Line's CR compound range which has been extensively tested by the company's professional factory team of drivers. The CR compounds have proven themselves at high-level competition including the 2021 US Carpet Off-Road Championship, giving you confidence that you're using tyre technology proven in competitive racing environments.
