Check it out....it says "worlds" right on it!!!!!

Wish I had the other one :cry:

Any story to these tires? They look pretty run-of-the-mill but the pro line logo looks old and is that a serial number?

I cant find the thread I had, I e mailed Proline CS about them, sent them pictures and they replied that they WERE prototype tires for one of the World Events, given to specific drivers to test. They said PROLINE, WORLDS and C3, same as yours.

I have since passed these on to a collector who appreciates them :) , I would have just ended up running 'em.
