Probably a dumb question regarding slick tyres?
I have some 16" slick tyres here and a set of Revolution wheels to fit them on. I was thinking of throwing them on the Gartrac for Beds but am not sure about the slicks? How do you tell if they have any life left in them
Obviously on a treaded tyre its simple

On the drag car there are little wear holes that you can put a tread depth guage into to measure how much is left on it

Yep as above, they have wear indicators in them
Whats the make/compound Spadge ? If they are too hard then Feb wouldn't be a good month to run them

Dunlop SP Sport 210/615/R16 is what it says on them mate
If 210 is the width they may be too wide for my 6j x 16 revys anyway

210 should go on but there will be a horrible side bulge on a 6J rim
Do they not have an X number on them in yellow ? like X08 or X19 etc ??
