looks like more foreward bite than a crime and more side bite than a bow... or the other way to say it is maybe just as much foreward bite as a bow and just as much side bite as a crime....
but in any event, i'm not recently pleased with my proline purchases. the beads are typically deforemd, and even if they aren't, you still have to doctor up the loose edges from the molds before you can mount them properly. I've had soft compounds that had partially separated tread blocks new in package, and all the soft compound tires get chewed up at the sidewall where the rubber meets the rim during usage.

If you have any issues with proline let them know. They will take care of it.

I'm totally sure they would... the problem is when you open your package trackside or the night before you leave at home and you NEED them on and glued and have to deal with them on the spot.
The other problem is I've seen the deformed bead so often on the m3 compound, I'd be worried about what would come in place of a returned set - I'd be worried that the money I invested in a set of tires I need soon would be tied up in something that might not get resolved soon enough to be useful for my next race.
But anyways, don't take all this the wrong way - I'm not trying to crap all over the product, regardless of how it might look. This is just what I've been going through with the tires this season, and its something thats cropped up recently. Last season the Prolines didn't give me these types of problems at all.

Proline still seems to be the top tire at the races I have been to this summer although I have had issues too.
Balance and poor glue jobs
I would rather mount them myself, thats for sure !

Don`t forget to cover the holes in the rims and put them in the tires !

Gump my point is that unless you say something nothing will get done.

Complaining about it but doing nothing is what I don't understand. Communication is the key to most problems. I understand time is not always on your side. Working with these things can be frustrating. So please don't take it as if I'm bashing you either.

I know that proline will do what ever it can to remedy the problems. Unhappy customers is not good for them. Jessica will take care of the issues to the best of her ability.

Unfortunately most companies use the denial method to deal with most things. Never admitting they have a issue when they know there is a problem.

Hope to see you guys this weekend.
