Any ideas? (Preferably in Victoria) Any ideas of good brands? Looking to hit the track soon (not drag) and looking to get the best possible performance out of the old girl as I can... P.S-Are "Semi-slicks" and "ET Street Radials" the same thing?

I dont think ET street radials will do you much good on a circuit. They were designed with drag racing in mind. There are road/race tyres that some people call semi slicks. I cant think of any atm though. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Ah that's cool Dan-cheers anyway Any other clues peoples? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Pm Sir5.7 Or Vpw One Of Them Will Sort You Out

Thanks Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

toyo have a range of semi slicks to suit circuit racing. probably the most common race tyre i've seen at sprint days etc. http://www.toyo.com.au/

Thanks Looks like they have a great range-and they have them in 17" too! YAY! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I've got a couple of second hand set out the back of my shed. 225/45/17. Pm me if your interested.

The best value ones are Bridgestone, Kumho and Toyo. Dunlop and Yokohama are prety expensive. Bridgestone RE55S are approx $330? for a 17". Falken RT615, Federal 595RS and Kumho KU15 and not semis but track orientated street tyres with treadwear ratings of 180-200. Street legal track tyres will have a treadwear of 50-80.

matt is there any 19" full slicks around?

bfgoodrich best 1s drag radial gforce i think

Drag radials are not designed for circuit racing. Here are a couple of pics of circuit tyres....... Yokohama A048 Bridgestone Potenza RE55S The following is a distributor for Bridgestone, Falken and Toyo in Victoria....... http://www.tracksidetyres.com.au/index.html Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Grouse! Thanks heaps people! Lots of great info there.

a048's look mighty nice

Sure do. At this point, my choice is between them and the Toyo Proxes R888's...

Have you prices the A048s?!?! Crazy prices. I priced 225/50-16 tyres and this is what I got from memory: Bridgestone $252ea Kumho $270ea Toyo $330ea Dunlop $380 yokohama $500 or something like that....

It's worth it. In the grand scheme of things, it's a drop in the ocean compared to what I've spent already-besides, I want to race and be competitive. I've learned in to the past to spend more in the first place and do things ONCE, rather than spend a little bit less, and do it twice. I learned that one the hard way...

but there are faster tyres than the yokohamas. Id get RE55's. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/for...&hl=semi+slick (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Semi-Slicks-t142897.html&hl=semi+slick)
