Introducing the Valkyrie, the newest 1/8 buggy tire from Pro-Line, now available in the super soft S4 compound. An evolution of the Slide Lock tire, the Valkyrie is engineered to excel on high-grip, blue groove tracks. A spokesman from Pro-Line mentions that “the innovative tread pattern features strategically placed diagonal rows of lugs that meet up to form an optimized center lug pod. This arrangement has lightened the tire significantly while still maintaining great balance, forward traction, wear characteristics, and bump-handling stability.” The Valkyrie also represents a new generation of tire profile technology with the shape of the tire being a larger radius from the shoulder to the center tread block and vice-versa, making the tire less “edgy” in corners and more forgiving to drive. Finally the tread at the shoulder extending into the sidewall can be trimmed adding another level of tuning options to further tailor the tire to each driver’s particular style. Each package includes two tires and two molded, closed-cell foam inserts and are made in the USA.
