Semi-slick group buy

[DCIEVE]

ive decided to do a group buy on silverstone semi slicks seeing as there is alot of interest atm.

price is yet to be set but expect to pay less than 200per tyre for a 16" semi-slick in your choice of compound (hard, medium soft) the more people the lower the price

silverstone dont seem to give conventional tyre sizes but the dimensions for the 16" tyre are 625mm dia. and 210mm width

these arent legal for the street either

i should have a pair on the back of my car in a couple weeks if people want to check them out. interested people post here or pm

For less that $200, i'd be pretty interested.

[rob77]

I'd like to see results first

[Dsturbd]

Ill get a set ... might get a couple of sets if the price is good

[DCIEVE]

no worries, there is a 17" version also but ill check price on that today.

ill have mine next week if you want a look rob but they wont be on my car for a few untill wheels are ready then ill test em at the drags.

a few others are buying them for that purpose illl let you know how they go.

I had considered getting a set of the 17's, but I don't think they have released them in large sizes like 255's, so there no good for me.

[G0DF4Th3R]

Paul, the RE555 were 320 a piece in 17s

[rev210]

They are rally tyres.

good for going around a bitumen stage in your rally car, don't know what they would be like on a drag strip.

But for $200 a tyre the experiment will be cheap.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Bam, Yeah, there meant to be stickier and last longer than the RE540's which they have discontinued.

[DCIEVE]

rally tyre or not they are designed for tarmac use, i remember gtrken saying he recomends them so they must be worth a go.

i never said they were a drag tyre, so do your whoring somewhere else, this is just to help out people who would like more forwards rather than sideways motion

paul, the 17" tyre is designed for up to a 9" rim

[rev210]

Hey if gtrken reccomends them then they must be good for drag racing

I might be interested in a few weeks, can't knock a $200 tyre can you.

[MrMayhem]

Nick show us you rev limiter clutch dumps

Im keen for their shakedown test for sure

[DCIEVE]

yeah we'll see how they go. get me that painters no. steve and ill test them the day there ready at kwinana, have no wheels to put them on atm or id be down there this week

im a little worried as to how an already crunchy/noisy rb20 box is going to hold up to big launches on these tyres tho....

[wilzlee]

bam, i'm still waiting for uuuuuu......

[G0DF4Th3R]

wilzlee and i checked out some RE555, but they had the softest compound in, which wears out too fast so we're waiting for the slightly harder, more daily driver friendly tyre

[DCIEVE]

how much $$

[rob77]

I'd need a set in 16" but I'd like to see your times first

[N I B]

Falken semi slicks seem to be the best on the strip but all the semi slicks i've used are no good at the plex. Never tryed these tho.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

DCEIVE, If the 17's fit on a 9" rim then I'll be interested depending on the price:D

[MrMayhem]

they are 225 champ 8" max unless your pimping em crazy jap van style
