Hi lads. Quick one, when 888 reach wear marker. What depth is it at? Still fine for a few miles on a track?

1.6mm mate. The legal limit in the UK is 1.6 so as long as 3/4 of the tread has more than 1.6mm they are legal.

Perfectly fine for track and I've used 888s until you can see canvas.

Around 1.6mm, they're road legal so that will be the limit.

Thanks mate. 1.6mm enough for a single track session you think? They won’t be driven on a road.
Also thanks for his name. Any chance you can send a link to 1 of his listings? For the life of me can not find him.

Easily get a day out of 1.6mm, run them slick.

With a bit of tyre management and rotation easily.

These are the dogs as well...

Here you go mate, he has the RS1's back in stock. Email and tell him you need 4. I offered £150 a pair.

Decent price for A050's!

Anyone has a conversion chart for slicks? Interested what 18/58/15 Michelin’s equate to road tyres

Also you think it’s fine to run different brand slicks? Matching pairs of course. Fancy trying Michelin’s if I am honest. Stick them on front. Keep PXRS1 on rear.

Closest road tyre will be 195/50/15

Although the physical width of the tyre will be more like 200. The 18 (or 180mm) is the 'tread' width.

58 is the rolling radius in cm.

Should be fine mate, but just don't get a hard compound slick for the front as you'll struggle with getting them up to temp, especially in the coming colder months. Medium/hard should be OK but I'd go for a medium on your light weight Clio.
