seventytwo Still have a turbo, it's just on a diesel.

Changing rims in the garage is a hell of a lot easier than in some paddock. Edited 25/10/07 08:53 AM by seventytwo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking more the performance side of things or will I need to do a decent size burnout for the slicks to be useful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat-Tony Member 5,364 Member For: 18y 8m 24d Posted 25/10/07 09:24 AM Share Posted 25/10/07 09:24 AM If you want to run a CROSS PLY slick you will also need a cross ply front runner other wise you will end up sh*tting yourself half track at the speed wobbles. Get yourself a RADIAL slick so you can run radial street tyres on the front The M/T ET street Radials are perfect for the job. Geea Ran 10's with these.
