Ed - King Pins have a different profile than Taper Pins and won't make as good of a slick. The sidewall is very think on the King Pin and that causes an issue with making slicks out of them. They might work when the water freezes in the winter and we are running on a dry track. Otherwise, I'd stick to Taper Pins for your slicks...
