Default What road legal slicks are available in small sizes?

Looking to get some new tyres for the Jap rocket, and it runs 15s.

I know I'm gonna end up doing Combe in it as I'm not rushing to get the cossie done, so I want something decent.

I really want high end road, or middle end r/l slicks... suggestions? Mike? etc

Mitchelin Pilot's Sports are suposidly(from what I have read) a great track tyre!

On the road they are excellent, however I've yet to test them on track!

Ooooh................ price when you get a chance please mate. If they're a little too pricey, then I'll keep looking, as I do intend to drift the shit out of this car

Cheers guys, but just tyres, and they have to be road legal.

For a Toyota too, so 4 stud fitment only for wheels

It will be out there at National Day, but gone are the days of sacrificing any free time I have working like a coont trying to get it ready.

James - yes mate - it's so much fun on the road, I want to take it drifting on track

Sticky slicks are no good for drifting - you want the cheapest hardest crap you can find
