Do They Make Semi Slicks For 19inch

[danoz]

ot 19s on my gtr am looking for some 18inch rims for my gtr for track so what is the best semi slick tyre for street/track

I think the norm seems to be 18x10 or 18x10.5 which is plenty of tyre not to get too hot too quick, fit good sized brakes and also allow you to run a suitable ride height without having rubbing/clearance issues.

Dunlop and Bridgestone are my pic of the best semi slicks for track and street, and neither of those offer their semis in 19" You can use Michelin Pilot Sport Cups which come in 19" , 235/35 ZR 19 , 265/30 ZR 19 , 305/30 ZR 19

BM Goodrich drag semi's DOT4 approved.......great tyre

[Roy]

A drag tyre being great for the street/track ?

[Beer Baron]

19inch would not be an ideal size wheel for track use anyway. big and heavy. the fact that hardly anyone makes semi slicks for 19inch wheels is telling you something.

^^^^^^^^^^^

Id agree 100%

Buy a set of 17's

What are some prices for these semi slicks?

I might be going to a track day in may.. Wouldnt mind some semi slicks..

i got 17inch rims.. 235s front, 255s rear..

Also i got toyo t1rs in the front (95% thread), advan ad07s rear (50% thread left)

So i wont be using the advans on the track day. Would it be alright to have just semi slicks on the rear??

Sorry to hi-jack thread.. Just thought i ask since we are on the topic of slicks..

[Risking]

Id rather have the grip up the front of you are only going to run a pair.

Just use what you have and buy new street rubber afterwards.

^^ hmm thats true..

But would love to experience how semi slicks feel like!!

guess if i can afford it, i will buy front n rears.. maybe 2nd hand even!!

what are the prices generally?

[Risking]

If you have never been out on the circuit before your seriously wasting your time with the whole slicks idea.

Best off going out with decent street tires, getting the feel for cutting the apex and using clean lines before trying to go all out and do quick lap times on slicks.

A set of decent RE55's will cost you roughly 1300-1400 bucks.

^^ alright thats way over my budget.. lol

hahah guess i will have to stick with street tyres!!
