    Semi Slick Track Tyres

    Ok I bought myself a set of 16x7 rims that I'd like to use predominantly as track rims.

    The question I have is what brand tyres do people reccomend as semi slicks???


    and how much can I expect to pay for semi slicks in 205/45/16's???

    For God's Sake, Robin. You got a death wish? If George hears you say that ... it's firing squad at dawn, Mate.

    about 320 a corner for 16's... those are for semi slicks, close to racing slicks in my opinon, but i was quoted that price before when i asked...

    yeah 1200 a set pretty much...

    when i got new tyres for my thing, the next step up was semi slicks (yokohama's) he was asking $300 a tyre but that was for a 14" rim, maybe $400 a tyre for the bigger wheel?
