The S4 variant in this package represents the Super Soft compound option, specifically engineered for softer track surfaces and conditions where maximum grip is essential. All Hole Shot tyres include Pro-Line's latest generation closed cell foam insert technology, which combines responsive handling characteristics with predictable, controlled traction.
These tyres work seamlessly with 1/8 truck wheels for both front and rear positions, offering tremendous versatility for your racing setup.

Key Features
- Small Pin Design for Ultimate Responsiveness — The tread pattern incorporates a small pin configuration throughout, delivering precise steering response and predictable handling characteristics that serious competitors demand. This design ensures your RC truck responds instantly to driver inputs without tyre flex or delayed reaction time, critical when racing at high speeds against other competitors.
- Square-Lug Technology Throughout Tread Design — The square lug geometry is engineered into every section of the tread pattern, providing consistent edge grip on various track surfaces. This technology ensures even wear distribution across the tyre and maintains grip levels throughout your race runs, preventing the performance fade that occurs with inferior tyre designs.
- Blue Groove to Wet, Hard-Packed Performance — These tyres are proven contenders on multiple track surface types, from the distinctive blue groove racing clay popular at competitive venues to wet conditions and hard-packed surfaces. The compound formulation and tread design work together to maintain traction across this wide range of conditions, reducing the need for multiple tyre sets.
- Closed Cell Foam Insert Latest Generation — Pro-Line's advanced foam insert technology provides the perfect balance between responsiveness and durability. The closed cell construction prevents moisture absorption, maintains consistent performance throughout your race, and provides the compliance needed for traction without sacrificing steering precision.
- Made in the USA Quality Assurance — These tyres are manufactured to strict quality standards in the USA, ensuring consistency and reliability that imported alternatives cannot match. American manufacturing means rigorous quality control and the backing of a company with deep roots in competitive RC racing.
- Front or Rear Versatility — These tyres are designed to work effectively in both front and rear positions on 1/8 truck platforms, providing setup flexibility and reducing the number of different tyre options you need to stock for various racing configurations.
Technical Performance
The Hole Shot S4 represents the latest generation in Pro-Line's competitive tyre engineering. The S4 (Super Soft) compound is specifically formulated for lower bite surfaces and tracks that demand maximum grip. Lab-certified compound formulations guarantee performance consistency across every tyre in the pair. The S-series compounds (S3 through S5) are engineered for longer wear on more abrasive dry tracks, with the S4 offering the softest option in this range for maximum grip on lower-bite surfaces. The tyre features substantial leap forward in terms of grip on dry and slick conditions compared to previous generations, with stability maintained throughout long main events. Lab-tested batches guarantee performance, with many competitive drivers selecting softer material for lower temperature conditions and firmer material for higher temperature tracks. The 4.0-inch diameter specification is the standard for competitive 1/8 truck racing, providing the right balance of speed and traction. The closed cell foam insert provides medium wear characteristics on wet surfaces whilst maintaining responsive handling. These tyres have been developed and tested by Pro-Line's race team to ensure they deliver the performance requirements of serious competitors operating across various UK and international RC racing venues.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the S4 compound and when should I use it? — The S4 designation stands for Super Soft, indicating the softest compound in Pro-Line's S-series range (S3, S4, S5). The S4 is specifically designed for lower-bite track surfaces where maximum grip is essential. Use the Super Soft compound on softer clay tracks, watered surfaces, and conditions where traction is at a premium. For higher temperature track conditions, the S4 provides an ideal compound choice, whilst on cooler temperature tracks you may want to explore the firmer S3 option.
- Can I use these tyres on both front and rear wheels? — Yes, these tyres are specifically designed for use on both front and rear positions of 1/8 truck platforms. This versatility means you can configure your truck with matching Hole Shot tyres front and rear for consistent handling characteristics throughout your race runs.
- What makes the Hole Shot tyre better than other brands? — The Hole Shot has earned its reputation through proven success in competitive racing, capturing numerous regional and national events over the past decade. The combination of small pin design for responsiveness, square-lug technology for edge grip, Pro-Line's lab-certified compounds, and the advanced closed cell foam insert create a complete package that delivers performance consistency. Made in the USA with rigorous quality control, these tyres offer reliability and performance that serious competitors trust.
- Do these tyres need any assembly? — These tyres come with Pro-Line's latest generation closed cell foam inserts already integrated. You simply need to mount them onto compatible 1/8 truck wheels. The pair is ready to use once mounted to your wheel set.
- What track surfaces are these best suited for? — The Hole Shot S4 compound is proven on blue groove racing clay, wet conditions, and hard-packed surfaces. The Super Soft compound is ideal for lower-bite tracks where maximum grip is required. However, the square-lug tread design and small pin geometry make these effective across a range of competitive racing surfaces found throughout the UK.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — These are professional-grade competition tyres designed for serious racers who understand tyre selection and track preparation. Beginners new to RC racing may find entry-level tyres more forgiving, but once you've developed your driving skills, upgrading to Hole Shot tyres will provide measurable performance improvements in lap times and consistency.
- How long do these tyres last? — The S-series compounds (including S4) are engineered for longer wear on abrasive dry tracks compared to softer alternatives. Actual tyre life depends on track surface, driving style, vehicle setup, and maintenance. Competitive drivers typically use these for multiple race events before requiring replacement, making them cost-effective for serious competitors.
