talk to me about slick tyres..........
 
Im off for 4 days in almeria in Oct, weather permitting are they worth it, would i notice a difference and if so what make?

Im currently running 209gp and ive never used slicks before..........

Andy, slicks work just as well in the wet as they do in the dry. No worries, mate!

Do you have a set of tyre warmers, Andy?

andyb 28-Aug-2006 21:28

Yes, i wouldnt be seen without my tyre warmers!..........now im looking for informative answers..........do you know anyone informative?;)

Loz 28-Aug-2006 21:35

If you got tyre warmers, you'll be alright on slicks :)

Lots of informative folks on the DSC board. Fear not, Andy, one of them will be along to help you out.

Oh, and you'll certainly notice the difference with slicks ... they're the ones without a tread pattern. Have fun in Almeria!

Andy, if its dry run slicks. They're grippy as f***

If it's damp with no standing water, run the slicks. If it's wet with standing water - wets or something else and you'll be fine.

Keep the warmers on, keep the beers flowing and you'll be sweet.

:D
