- Redesigned Carcass Shape — The third-generation Wedge features a completely new carcass design that fundamentally improves how the tyre performs across the entire speed range, providing better weight distribution and traction.
- Improved Low-Speed Steering — The new carcass shape provides noticeably more steering response in low-speed corners, allowing drivers to turn-in sharper and hit apex lines with greater precision during slow technical sections of carpet tracks.
- More Forgiveness and Stability at High Speeds — At speed, the redesigned structure provides greater stability and forgiveness, meaning the tyres won't wash out or unpredictably break loose when you're pushing hard on fast sections of the circuit.
- Iconic Hook-Shaped Wedge Pins — The signature hook-shaped pins that have made the Wedge tyre famous are retained in this generation, providing the optimal balance of grip without being overly grabby or sensitive to track conditions.
- CR3 Medium Carpet Compound — The CR3 compound is specifically formulated for medium-grip carpet surfaces, offering the ideal balance of durability, consistent performance, and mechanical grip across a wide variety of carpet types and conditions.
- Made in the USA Since 1982 — Pro-Line's heritage of American manufacturing excellence means these tyres are built to the highest standards of quality control and consistency, backed by decades of RC racing expertise.

Technical Performance
The PRO 1/10 Wedge Gen 3 CR3 Front Tyres represent the pinnacle of Pro-Line's engineering in carpet racing rubber. Each tyre measures 2.2 inches in diameter with a width of 0.86 inches (22mm), specifically optimised for 1/10 scale 2WD buggy racing on indoor carpet tracks. The CR3 compound is a medium-hardness rubber formulation developed specifically for the unique demands of carpet surfaces, providing the perfect blend of grip, durability, and consistent performance lap after lap. The redesigned carcass delivers superior handling characteristics across the entire performance envelope – whether you're navigating tight technical sections at low speed or maintaining pace at race speed through flowing carpet sections. The construction uses no insert material, allowing the tyre to flex naturally and conform to the carpet surface for maximum contact patch consistency. Built to exacting standards in the USA with Pro-Line's proven manufacturing processes, these tyres have been validated at the highest levels of competitive 1/10 carpet off-road racing, including victories at the US Carpet Off-Road Championship. The hook-shaped pin design is engineered to provide predictable traction without the sensitivity issues that can arise with other carpet tyre designs. With a product height of 3.02 inches (77mm), these tyres integrate perfectly with standard 2WD front buggy wheelsets, delivering the performance envelope that Pro-Line's factory racing team demands.

- Can I use these on high-grip or low-grip carpets? — The CR3 compound is specifically formulated for medium-grip carpet surfaces.
