What tire has more national championship wins then any other tire? If you guessed Bow Tie then you’re right on the money. Introducing the Bow Tie tread design for 1:8 Buggies. The 1:8 Bow-Tie stems from years and years of research and development from its 1:10 scale and monster truck counterparts.

“We have taken everything we have learned from those tires and designed a tire that would perform to the best of its capabilities”, says Mark Pavidis, Product Development Supervisor for Pro-Line. Pro-Line team driver Chad Bradley’s first reported that it is the next contender on blue-groove, hooked-up surfaces after testing them at the Farm II.

The Bow-Tie’s design provides unsurpassed forward bite due to the horizontal, straight-edge styling. Another unique feature of the Bow-Tie is the tapered outer pin design. This tapered effect resists ruts in corners ensuring for greater cornering consistency.

Quick question, how is it years and years of research when its just the 10th scale tires blown up to fit 8th scale?

They are refering to the years of R&D that went into the original design.

I liked the original bowties for trucks, and I bet this'll be great for buggies. I can't believe that it took this long for them to port this over to the 1/8th scale buggy world.....

Please Pro-Line, release pre-mount TRUGGY wheels/tires! Some Bow-Tie MTR/Velocity would make for a very nice pre-mount.

Hate Glue...
