Overview
This is a pair of Vandal 1/8 Buggy Tires. Introducing the Vandal 1/8 Buggy race tire, an evolution of our legendary Hole Shot tire engineered for hard-packed, dusty, blown-out track conditions.
Vandal development started with Pro-Line's latest generation carcass profile that utilizes a single arc to create the sidewall geometry, then transitions from the sidewall to the crown with a larger radius resulting in a rounder and less edgy appearance. This carcass provides a tailored fit to the wheel and insert package, making mounting a breeze. Focusing on grip, the Vandal's center tread density is optimized for longevity in longer runs while the addition of micro-pins at the outer edges reduces edginess in the bumps. Competitors can expect the Pro-Line Vandal tires to deliver improved consistency, drivability, and durability.
The Vandal is available in our four popular tread compounds (M3 & M4 for watered tracks, S3 & S4 long wear for more abrasive dry tracks) and includes our latest generation closed cell foam insert.

Available now at RC Model Shop, these authentic Pro-Line racing tyres come with the confidence of knowing you're running the same equipment trusted by professional and amateur competitors worldwide.
Key Features
- Latest Generation Carcass Profile — The Vandal M4 tyres employ Pro-Line's newest carcass design that utilises a single arc to create the sidewall geometry, then transitions smoothly from the sidewall to the crown with a larger radius, resulting in a rounder and less edgy appearance that delivers superior performance across varied track conditions.
- Tailored Wheel and Insert Fitment — This advanced carcass provides a tailored fit to the wheel and insert package, making mounting effortless and ensuring consistent performance without the frustration of tyre fitment issues that can plague inferior designs.
- Optimised Centre Tread Density — The Vandal M4's centre tread density is specifically optimised for longevity in longer competitive runs, meaning you can push harder for extended periods without experiencing premature tyre degradation that would cost you positions on the track.
- Micro-Pins at Outer Edges — Micro-pins positioned at the outer edges of the tread pattern actively reduce edginess in bumpy sections, providing smoother steering response and more controlled handling through rough terrain whilst maintaining grip on packed surfaces.
- M4 Super Soft Compound — Specifically engineered for watered track conditions, the M4 compound delivers maximum grip on low bite surfaces with a compliant carcass that produces exceptional traction with controlled expansion, ensuring you maintain consistent lap times throughout entire race events.
- Improved Consistency and Drivability — Competitors can expect the Pro-Line Vandal M4 tyres to deliver noticeably improved consistency lap after lap, superior drivability that responds precisely to steering inputs, and durability that won't let you down during critical races.
- Lab Tested Batches — Every batch of Vandal M4 tyres undergoes rigorous laboratory testing to guarantee consistent performance, meaning you can be confident that each tyre in your pair will deliver identical characteristics and wear patterns.
- Included Closed Cell Foam Inserts — The package includes Pro-Line's latest generation closed cell foam insert technology, providing the perfect complement to the tyre compound and ensuring optimal performance and longevity throughout your racing season.
- Front and Rear Compatible — These versatile 1/8 buggy tyres are designed for use in either front or rear positions, offering flexible setup options and allowing you to experiment with different tyre combinations to dial in your perfect handling balance.
Technical Performance
The Pro-Line Vandal M4 Front/Rear Off-Road Buggy Tires deliver cutting-edge engineering specifically developed for competitive 1/8 scale off-road buggy racing. The M4 compound is the softest in the Vandal range, making it the ideal choice for watered tracks where maximum grip and compound flexibility are essential for success. The carcass utilises a single arc sidewall geometry that transitions to the crown with a larger radius, creating a rounder profile that reduces harshness and provides superior traction control compared to more angular tyre designs. The centre tread density is optimised through extensive development to provide medium wear on wet surfaces whilst maintaining grip throughout longer races, preventing the common problem of tyres becoming slippery as they heat up and the compound softens further. The addition of strategically positioned micro-pins at the outer edges actively reduces the edginess that can make tyres unpredictable in bumpy sections, instead providing predictable, consistent steering response that allows drivers to push harder with confidence. Manufacturing takes place in the USA to Pro-Line's exacting quality standards, ensuring that each tyre meets the performance criteria required for race-winning consistency. The included latest generation closed cell foam insert works in harmony with the M4 compound to provide the perfect balance of support and compliance, whilst the tailored fitment between tyre and insert means mounting is straightforward without the frustration of struggling with poor-fitting components. Lab testing of every production batch guarantees that performance will be consistent from tyre to tyre and from pack to pack, giving you the confidence to make setup changes knowing that any variation in on-track performance is due to your driving or track conditions, not product inconsistency.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What track conditions are the Vandal M4 tyres best suited for? — The M4 compound is specifically engineered for watered tracks and conditions with low bite surfaces. This is the softest compound in the Vandal range and delivers maximum grip on moisture-saturated track surfaces. If you race on dry, abrasive tracks, you should consider the harder S3, S4 or S5 compounds instead.
- What is the difference between M4 and other Vandal compounds? — The Vandal range offers five distinct tread compounds tailored to different track conditions. The M3 and M4 are designed for watered tracks, with M4 being softer for maximum grip on low bite surfaces. The S3 and S4 are long-wear compounds for more abrasive dry tracks, with S5 being the ultra-soft option for slick dry conditions. Use firmer material for higher temperatures and softer material for lower temperatures within your chosen compound.
- Do I need to mount these tyres onto wheels, or do they come pre-mounted? — These are unmounted tyres that will require fitting to compatible 1/8 scale buggy wheels. The tailored carcass profile makes mounting straightforward compared to other tyre designs, but you will need to install the included closed cell foam inserts into the tyres and then mount them onto your chosen wheels.
- Are these tyres suitable for both front and rear positions on my buggy? — Yes, these Vandal M4 tyres are designed for use in either front or rear positions on 1/8 scale off-road buggies. This flexibility allows you to run matching tyres all around or experiment with different combinations based on your specific track conditions and driving preferences.
- How do the foam inserts included with these tyres compare to aftermarket options? — The package includes Pro-Line's latest generation closed cell foam insert technology that has been specifically matched to the Vandal M4 tyre profile. These inserts are engineered to work in harmony with the carcass and compound to deliver optimal performance without the need to source alternative inserts.
- What makes the Vandal tyre different from Pro-Line's legendary Hole Shot tyre? — The Vandal represents an evolution of the Hole Shot design, incorporating Pro-Line's latest generation carcass profile with a single arc sidewall geometry and larger crown radius for a rounder, less edgy appearance. The centre tread density is optimised for consistency through longer runs, and micro-pins at the outer edges reduce bumpiness whilst maintaining grip—these refinements deliver improved drivability and durability compared to the original Hole Shot.
- Are these tyres made in the USA? — Yes, the Vandal M4 tyres are manufactured in the USA by Pro-Line Racing to their exacting quality standards, ensuring premium quality and consistent performance in every pair.
- Will these tyres work with my specific 1/8 buggy model? — These are generic 1/8 scale off-road buggy tyres designed to fit standard 1/8 buggy wheels. They should be compatible with virtually all modern 1/8 buggies including popular platforms from brands like Losi, TLR Racing, and others. However, we recommend confirming wheel compatibility with your specific buggy's documentation before purchase.
