Cheapo Semi's And Toe Arms

[Marlin]

Here is one on an 8" rim. You can also see the wear indicators clearly. They're virtually new.

They DO typically come looking a bit grubby due to rubber pickup on the "tread" face, but don't let that worry you. The indicator shows the true depth.

And here is the "dunlop" and "japanese text" on the sidewall (look closely)

Nice. I didn't realise you were talking a full slick.

IS that going to mean suspension changes for my car, obviously I can't run them in the wet =\

Why not have a 2nd set of wheels and 2nd hand slicks? I'm using ex Mini Challenge slicks and they're pretty good for a hundy each.

Dan...... you're kiddin me right? ADHD or Crack?

Supposed to be working + skim reading = ADHD + Crack like behaviour

If you get some second hand semi's, try putting some GRIP tyre softener on them. Be careful where you apply it though, it absolutely stinks!

I've used the Mini ones for 270klm at Lakeside so far (at 10/10ths), and the worst of the four is maybe one third worn.

They were virtually new (maybe 5/6 laps) when I got them and they cost me $100 each plus some freight to me from Melbourne. I since found I can get in Bris for $75 each. LOL

Dan, two sets of wheels means you drive to the track and bolt on the second set that were in the boot and back seat with proper race tyres, slicks even. IMO you are over-wheeled with 9 inch rims on that car.

The Mini Challenge tyres are Dunlops, size is 215/45/17, but I measured them because they looked so much bigger, and turns out they are nearly identical in size and width to my Dunlop and Kuhmo 235/45/17's.

link link this place that sells them for $75 each <3

does this stuff work on road tyres? my current set, especially the rear feels a bit too hard. not gripping anywhere near what they should be.

OMG , can you share with us how to buy those slicks, I am attending a track day soon, desperately looking for some used cheap track tyres=)

Troy at MPC is the slick contact.

I hear there is another fellow selling them in Melb too, as well as a guy on eBay?
