uklee70 - 2/11/05 at 03:52 PM

Hi all

I'm looking for a bit of help

I'm looking for a supplier for part worn slicks as I'm a tight wad has anyone got any suggestions

If not a good supplier of new slicks

I'm running 195/45/13 tyres and they are about as big as I can go in the arch

tyre diameter 506mm.

These would be great if anyone has any

18x50/13 Michelin Slick
Soft compound slick

Thanks Lee

Hi,

Have you tried Gav at Fuzznag down the road from you in South Skirlaugh. He always has plenty of part worns. If not try Pete at Yorkshire Rally spares in Malton.

I have a few 6/21/13 and 7/22/13 avon slicks ex Formula ford Zetec. I had these on my fiesta XR2 this year which I have now sold to make way for the Indy
These slicks transformed the car and gave fantastic cornering grip, I'll see how many I've got tomorrow as they are in my workshop at work and I'll let you know

Cheers
