I just think a semi slick is goin to put up more of a fight than the year old maxxis things I got on there now. also my brother is takin his torana down and it has slicks and front runners and I dont want him beating me otherwise il never live it down.

Will be fine with normal road tyres up front, the next step after these is full slicks. How much power do you have?

RAP1D Member Donating Members 3,739 Member For: 19y 17d Gender: Male Location: Sydney NSW Posted 03/08/10 02:02 PM Share Posted 03/08/10 02:02 PM You need the widest tyre you can fit, if your after a tyre for daily use and track, MTs arnt too good, soft sidewalls that roll bad on corners, but awesome in a straight line/ launch.If you run a proper semi-slick (circuit) you really need to run them on the front too, due to the difference in handling... you can get away with them just on the rear, for street use, just dont push hard corners.
