Ok have a set of proline 100-F as used by Jay Halsey on front of his #6 RC10, but they have some tires that I can seem to find what they are?
Looks like the tires could be the front version of whatever he used on the back?
I do know he used some Tamiya ones with writing on, but were the others with out writing? proline... somethings?

No I dont think there Tamiya as the Tamiya stuff has writing on the sidewalls. And there are plenty of pics of tyres with out writing?

In fact according to the pro-line site,
"Jay Halsey, our first World Champion back in 1985. Jay won the 2WD class in this IFMAR World Championship in Pomona, California on Pro-Line’s 109-R Champions 1.5” rear tires (part #1010). Pro-Line’s first World Championship...."
Also prp's pics of his build here,

On mine I put AJ'S 9719 replica holiday buggy.
Like on the pic on the first post.
For PROLINE , I don't know if they make the same profil.

Jay actually told me that he used both the Holiday Buggy Tire and the Parma replica during that 1985 World Championship race since it was 3 A-Mains plus the qualifying. He also said that those were the two tires he used the most on his RC10 back in that timeframe.
On my replica I have both the AJ's and the Holiday Buggy on wheels for it. I personally prefer to view my car with the Holiday Buggy tire as it was the one I personally used the most back in 1985-86 timeframe since the tire had great traction qualities!
I went thru many sets of Holiday Buggy Tires during my early racing days.
