Hi peeps, just wondering where you get new and part worn slicks from?

no mate no more instock you can buy them new they cost 168+vat each for a full racing slicks 190/570-15 but they need to be on a min of a 7" rim tho for a 6" rim you would need 170/180 -570-15 sicks avon do full track day sicks marco

Are track day slicks suitable/the same as drag racing slicks?

I really want to get some drag radials next but finding it a bit hard to find someone who can supply them?
cheers

I think drag radials have soft walls.. so not good for cornering! LOL

Try Danny B for drag tyres!

I think the ones Tim uses are drag radials and also road legal. were about 250 a pair..

But that was via Chad so the price may go up or down???
