slicks

[Barron]

can get a set of Dunlop slicks for a very cheap price, i have been sent this and been told to pick which i want. I have no idea what they mean, which should i go for? lol! using 15" speedline corse alloys

I think 200/575R15 is about right. IIRC the Michelin slicks on the cup racers were 19-57-15 which meant 190mm wide, 570mm diameter and 15" wheel.

non of those sizes look corect for your clio m8

i do run a 10mm spacer on the front.

would a 185/575 be too skinny? and 200/575 be too wide?

200/575 should fit

i ran 205/50/15 R888 on the front of mine for a bit which would be the same as 205/580/15 so 200/575/15 would be fine mate

if you are looking for a pure slick then go with what i said, if you want road legal then you would properly have to use 195/55/15 D01J

Hi i use 200/580r15 slick A46D 720 . They are the hard compound but once warmed up you can carry so much more speed round corners you'll think why did'nt i get them ages ago.
When the set i have wear out i'd go for the mediums so it doesn't take so many laps to warm up.

the 185/575 is the old clio cup size if i remember rightly

you boys aren't ready for slicks yet! you'll break something!

Carl, can you only get one set

Me personally i'd go for the 185/580/15, the footprint of this tyre is 205mm the 200's have a 216mm footprint

Let me know if you can get anymore :evil:

I just got a set of 200/580/R15 off ebay, not sure on the compound. Seemed the closest match to 205/50/15 when looking at the dimensions. Can't wait to see what difference they make
