It's a shame. There are loads of good 55mm tires available, premounted and ready to go.
Thank you.
The two tracks I race on with my silver can take around 10 secs to complete and constant corners with one straight, so I'm hoping the new tyres can hold off the 60d equipped cars!
Probably a stupid question but when I drove my car around the house on domestic carpet earlier, whilst on the new slicks, it had little grip. I'm hoping it's a combination of new tyres and household carpet! Do the slicks take some bedding in? Will they certainly need additive on carpet?
