Experience the ultimate in scale realism and high-performance street tyre technology with the Pro-Line 1/7 Toyo Proxes R888R S3 53/107 2.9" BELTED Tyres mounted on Black 5-Spoke 17mm wheels. This is a genuine partnership between Pro-Line and one of the world's leading performance tyre manufacturers, Toyo Tires, bringing authentic racing heritage directly to your ARRMA 1/7 scale RC car. Whether you're looking for ready-to-run RC tyres in the UK or seeking to upgrade your existing setup with professional-grade components, these pre-mounted tyres represent the pinnacle of street-bashing performance for serious RC enthusiasts.

Every detail from the full-size high-performance competition tyre has been meticulously recreated to deliver the ultimate in scale looks, street performance, and long-lasting wear. The Toyo Proxes R888R is legendary in the full-scale racing world for extreme grip, precise cornering, and exceptional braking stability—and these RC versions deliver exactly the same benefits to your ARRMA Felony. If you're a weekend basher, a competitive racer, or a dedicated RC enthusiast in the UK looking for the best tyres available, this is the product that will genuinely transform how your vehicle handles and performs on the track or tarmac.

Pro-Line has engineered these tyres to come pre-mounted on quality black 5-spoke 17mm hex wheels, eliminating the need for tedious gluing and long drying times. You can unbox them and get straight onto the circuit or bash spot with complete peace of mind. The combination of advanced tread design, professional herringbone reinforcement belt, and Pro-Line's renowned S3 soft compound rubber creates a tyre system that delivers measurable improvements in grip, stability, and cornering performance.

Key Features

• Licensed Toyo Proxes R888R Design — This is an officially licensed tyre bearing the iconic Toyo Proxes R888R branding, which means you get authentic scale detailing and the proven tread pattern that's famous on full-size racing circuits worldwide, directly adapted for 1/7 scale RC performance.
• Pro-Line S3 Long-Wear Soft Compound — The proprietary S3 rubber compound has been formulated for maximum grip and extended tyre life, meaning you'll experience better handling without the tyre wearing down excessively after just a few bashing sessions or race days.
• Large Lateral Tread Blocks for Maximum Grip — The tyre's outer tread features large block patterns specifically engineered to maximise lateral grip during cornering, allowing you to maintain speed and control through tight turns without losing traction.
• Wide Center Rib for Directional Stability — A prominent rib runs down the centre of the tread to improve straight-line directional stability and braking performance, especially important during high-speed runs where precision handling is essential.
• High-Performance Herringbone Weave Belt — The internal structure features a reinforced herringbone weave pattern belt that stabilises the tyre during aggressive cornering and high-speed driving, preventing deformation and maintaining optimal contact patch at all times.
• Belted Construction for High-Speed Stability — The belted tyre design provides superior stability compared to standard RC tyres, especially critical when running at maximum RPM or during competitive racing where every fraction of a second counts.
• Pre-Mounted on Black 5-Spoke 17mm Wheels — No gluing required—these tyres arrive pre-mounted on professional-looking black 5-spoke wheels with 17mm hex hubs, ready to install directly onto your ARRMA vehicle without any preparation time.
• Scale Replica of High-Performance Track Tyre — The visual design authentically replicates the genuine Toyo Proxes R888R street tyre, giving your ARRMA 1/7 scale vehicle exceptional scale realism and a genuinely professional appearance.
• Street and Speed-Run Performance Optimised — Whether you're doing casual street bashing or preparing for speed runs, these tyres are engineered to deliver consistent performance across both disciplines with excellent grip and minimal wear.
• Made in the USA — Pro-Line manufactures these tyres domestically, ensuring quality control, consistency, and rapid supply for RC enthusiasts across the UK and worldwide.

Technical Performance

The Pro-Line Toyo Proxes R888R 53/107 2.9" represents the convergence of full-scale racing tyre technology and precision RC engineering. At 53mm wide and 107mm in overall diameter (2.9 inches), these tyres are specifically sized for the rear of your ARRMA Felony 1/7 scale vehicle, delivering a comprehensive performance upgrade when paired with compatible front tyres. The belted construction is crucial for high-speed stability—the internal herringbone weave reinforcement prevents tyre deformation and maintains an optimal contact patch even when cornering hard or during extended throttle runs. The S3 compound rubber provides the perfect balance between grip and durability; soft enough to deliver immediate traction from cold conditions, yet durable enough to withstand repeated use without chunking or rapid degradation. The large exterior tread blocks maximise lateral grip forces during cornering, whilst the wide centre rib ensures straight-line stability during maximum-speed runs. The 17mm hex fitting ensures compatibility with standard ARRMA components, and the 1/7 scale proportions mean the overall appearance contributes to genuine scale realism. Maximum speed rating is 100 mph or approximately 8500 RPM—exceeding this can cause permanent internal belt damage, so users must avoid over-revving, diffing out the tyres, or holding throttle whilst one or more tyres are stationary.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these tyres suitable for my ARRMA 1/7 vehicle? — Yes, these 53/107 2.9" tyres are specifically designed for the rear of the ARRMA Felony 1/7 scale vehicle. If you need front tyres or have an Infraction or Limitless, the 42/100 2.9" version (PRO1019910) is also available. Always verify your vehicle model and desired position before purchasing.
• What is the difference between belted and non-belted RC tyres? — Belted tyres feature internal reinforcement (in this case, a herringbone weave pattern) that provides superior stability at high speeds and during aggressive cornering. They maintain their shape better under load and are less prone to deformation, making them ideal for competitive racing and speed runs, though they're slightly less flexible than traditional unbelted tyres.
• Do I need to glue these tyres onto the wheels? — No, these tyres arrive pre-mounted on the wheels, ready to install directly onto your vehicle. This saves significant time and eliminates the uncertainty of waiting for tyre glue to cure properly.
• What is the maximum speed rating for these tyres? — The maximum safe speed rating is 100 mph or approximately 8500 RPM. Exceeding this speed can permanently damage the internal belt structure and will not be covered under warranty. Avoid over-revving, diffing out the tyres, or holding throttle whilst any wheel is stationary.
• How long will these tyres last? — The Pro-Line S3 compound is specifically formulated for long-wearing durability. Actual lifespan depends on driving style, surface conditions, and maintenance. The soft compound provides excellent grip whilst being more durable than ultra-soft competition compounds, making these ideal for regular use rather than single-event racing.
• Are these tyres available in other sizes? — Yes, Pro-Line also offers the Toyo Proxes R888R in 42/100 2.9" size (PRO1019910), which is suitable for front or rear use on ARRMA Infraction and Limitless vehicles, or for the front of Felony vehicles.
• Can I use these on wet surfaces or in the rain? — These are street and all-road tyres with a comprehensive tread pattern designed for good water evacuation. However, always exercise caution when driving RC vehicles in wet conditions, and ensure your vehicle's electronics are adequately protected from moisture exposure.
• What vehicles are these compatible with? — These 53/107 2.9" rear tyres are designed for ARRMA Felony 1/7 scale vehicles. The same tyre is available in 42/100 2.9" for ARRMA Infraction and Limitless vehicles, or for Felony front use.
• Why should I choose Pro-Line Toyo Proxes over standard RC tyres? — These tyres represent a collaboration with Toyo Tires, one of the world's premier performance tyre manufacturers. The design is based on genuine racing specifications adapted for RC, delivering proven improvements in grip, cornering stability, and braking performance. The S3 compound offers long-wearing durability, and the professional appearance enhances your vehicle's scale realism and overall presentation.
