Whether you're an experienced RC enthusiast, a weekend basher, or just getting started with ready to run RC cars in the UK, these Vector tyres offer the performance edge your GROM deserves.

Built with Pro-Line's proven engineering expertise, these tyres are engineered for speed, styled for the street, and built to last through countless runs.
Key Features
- Factory Pre-Mounted Design — The Vector tyres arrive ready to install on your ARRMA TYPHON GROM, completely eliminating the need to spend time gluing tyres to wheels. This saves hours of preparation time and ensures perfect mounting from day one, allowing you to spend more time driving and less time working on your RC car.
- M2 Medium Compound Rubber — The medium hardness compound provides the optimal balance between grip and durability, ensuring maximum control during high-speed runs whilst maintaining tyre longevity even with frequent use on various surfaces.
- Open Cell Insert Material — The open cell foam inserts absorb impacts and vibrations effectively, providing consistent tyre performance across different track conditions and improving overall handling precision during aggressive cornering.
- Mach 10 Wheel Design — The black Mach 10 wheels feature ten bold, racing-inspired spokes that give your GROM a sleek and aggressive appearance that screams performance. These aren't just for looks; the ten-spoke design provides excellent strength whilst keeping weight minimal for better acceleration and handling.
- Vector Tread Pattern — Inspired by high-performance track racing tyres, the Vector tread pattern delivers maximum grip and stability during acceleration, cornering, and braking, giving you the confidence to push your GROM to its limits on any terrain.
- 12mm Hex Fitting — These tyres mount securely onto the standard 12mm hexagonal wheel hubs found on the ARRMA TYPHON GROM, ensuring a perfect fit and reliable installation every time.
- Front and Rear Compatibility — The Vector tyres are designed to work on both the front and rear of your GROM, providing consistent performance across all four wheels and allowing you to run a matched set for optimal handling balance.
Technical Performance
The Pro-Line Vector tyres represent a significant step forward in performance-oriented tyre engineering for 1/14 scale RC buggies. Each tyre measures 1.23 inches (31 millimetres) in product height and the complete set of four tyres with wheels measures 6.5 inches (165 millimetres) in width, delivering the right proportions for your TYPHON GROM's chassis. The complete package of four pre-mounted tyres weighs just 0.31 pounds, ensuring minimal unsprung weight that translates directly into quicker acceleration and more responsive handling characteristics. The M2 medium compound rubber provides the sweet spot between aggressive grip and acceptable tyre wear rates, making these tyres suitable for both casual driving and more serious performance use. The open cell insert material works in harmony with the compound to absorb track imperfections, ensuring the tyres maintain consistent contact with the ground even over rough or uneven surfaces. Pro-Line's engineering expertise shines through in every aspect of these tyres, from the precisely moulded tread pattern to the carefully selected rubber compounds, all working together to deliver maximum street and speed-run performance from your ARRMA TYPHON GROM.
