Serious street performance for your short-course machine.
If you want to wear out a set of off -road tires in a hurry, just use them as street thrashers—you’ll grind those lugs and knobs into dust in the time it takes you to say, “There goes $50.” Here’s a better idea: Save your off -road rubber for the dirt as the tire gods intended, and get yourself a set of street sneakers for neighborhood pavement pounding. The Street Fighter SC tread is ProLine’s hot ticket for exactly this kind of action, and you can get them ready to install on your favorite short-course rims or factory-glued to Pro-Line’s attractive, made-in-the-USA Renegade wheels. I got the premounts ’cuz that’s how I roll (literally). The tires are sold in pairs and the tread is directional, so pay attention when you install the wheels. If you install them backward, you won’t notice a difference in performance but your friends will make fun of you.
