hi there i just have a question to ask. a friend of mine has a set of 17/45/215 dunlop semi slicks (not sure exactly what sort) but very square and look very much like track tyres. i am triing to decide whether to buy these and use just for track or buy a set of 17/45/255 street tyres and then i can use them on street and track. what would be best for track???

255 street tyre or 215 semi slick.

thanks heaps

depending on the wear of the semi slicks will make a difference as well and if it is old or not... theres no point in getting tyres that are just way too old i think cos they loose the grip and just wear away on track real fast... depends on the price as well though... dont be cheap on tyres cos thats the only contact you have with the ground....

    • Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP. 
    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.       
    • Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
