Good question, plus is there a chart/site that gives the equivalent size or nearest to it in std imperial sizes so I can work out wtf the numbers on slicks mean

What’s the nearest size slick I can get to a 215.40.16, assuming they even do them in that size?

A brand new Dunlop 235/610 -17 are £188+vat each ,

i sell parts worns that have done hardly nothing for £40 each

that means you would get a set of 4 cheaper than buying 1 new tyre

No, i know they wont be drag slicks, but soft compound track slicks in that size should do fine after a bit of warming up, if you can get some at a cheap price let me know, cash witing and come pick em up anytime if we talking brum area
