rallyeash 155 Posted July 27, 2015 Morning all... I'll need another set of tyres on the 205 soon, I run Dunlops DZ03's /R888's at the moment and I'm pleased with the Dunlops however I'm keen to give slicks a bash. What's peoples thoughts on the Silverstone slicks? Or any other slick tyre for that matter. Im already dry sump so no problems with oil surge.. http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-x-Silverstone-FTZ-Slick-Race-Track-Tyres-19-58-R15-T5-Medium-Compound-195815-/371264184912?nav=SEARCH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fenton 1,650 Posted July 27, 2015 Second hand Michelin slicks from Ginettas are what I use, I can't justify buying new just to mess about doing trackdays. Just treat them with caution, they definitely need a lap or so to warm up, go hard on them from cold and you will have problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rallyeash 155 Posted July 27, 2015 Where do you source them Tom? Do you find they still have decent life left in them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allanallen 528 2 Cars Posted July 27, 2015 Ginetta ones have about gone again now, they've been back on Michelin pilots for the last couple of years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petert 641 Posted July 27, 2015 You also need to be running 550-600lb springs on the front. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
