Exy, but well worth the investment. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/54555-19-semi-slicks-street-legal/page/4/#findComment-826221 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the tyres aren't rated enough the insurance company may say no to a claim.

Just looking for new tyres & always open to suggestions.

Tough choice. I think the street tyre would still end in a wall of smoke. Even the feds struggle up to 3rd.
