Semi Slicks

[AngryRB]

Just after some opinions on the best semi slick tyres for my 18inch rims, going 265 on rear,

Prioritys- Quiet, Grippy (able to hold down 300kw) , Street Legal, and a good price in Brisbane

most of those tyres in that thread arent street legal....

your best bet is probably khumo ku36 or federal RSR

federals can be noisy but when venturing into semi slick territory that is what you get, when you are on the track tyres noise doesnt matter

KU36 aren't really a semi-slick. More of a semi-semi-slick. 180 treadwear. RSR's are 140 treadwear, yes? So much closer to real semi territory.

I get 10-11k km out of KU36 with mostly sensible driving. I'd hate to be paying for proper semis at that rate of consumption, let alone the fact that they'd only last half as long at best.

lol? Sorry but you have no idea what you are talking about... All of the ones listed in the first post, bar 1 - are street legal.

Generally most R-Comps are street legal, except the hoosier/hankook/kumho single/dual groove items.

Also sorry to say... KU36s or RS-Rs are not a semi-slick/R-comp at all. They are simply a high performance road tyre, nothing more than that.

A proper semi slick/r-comp will never be quiet like a road tyre. They are all noisy.
