Description
The Pro-Line 'Slide Lock' S2 Premounted Velocity V2 Wheels (Part No: PL9064-232) are specifically engineered for tracks where a "blue-groove" has developed or the surface is extremely hard-packed and smooth. The Slide Lock tread is a unique, low-profile design that prioritizes maximum surface area contact, providing a "locked-in" feel on tracks that typically feel like driving on ice.
Key Features:
- Revolutionary Slide Lock Tread: Features a pattern of small, tightly packed hexagon blocks that are siped to provide maximum flexibility and "bite" on the microscopic level. It is designed to reduce the "sliding" sensation common on polished surfaces.
- S2 (Medium) Compound: This "Standard" medium-wear compound is the perfect choice for long-distance racing on abrasive, high-grip tracks, offering a great balance between initial traction and long-term durability.
- Velocity V2 Dish Wheels: Mounted on Pro-Line's signature lightweight white dish wheels. The V2 design features a reinforced hex area to prevent stripping under the high torque of modern 1/8 scale electronics.
- Closed-Cell Foam Inserts: Includes high-quality closed-cell inserts that provide a firm foundation for the tread, preventing the tire from "rolling" in high-speed sweepers.
- Precision Factory Mounting: Pre-glued to professional standards, ensuring that the tires stay firmly attached to the rims even during high-RPM speed runs or heavy braking.

Racing Tip:
The Slide Lock is a specialized tire for "clean" tracks. If the track has a lot of loose "loam" or dust on top, a larger pin tire like the Blockade may perform better. However, once the line is swept clean and the grip comes up, the Slide Lock will offer superior corner speed. Pro-Tip: Because these tires have such a high contact patch, they can sometimes make the car feel "edgy" or "twitchy." If this happens, try decreasing your front toe-out slightly to smooth out the steering entry.
