Slick considerations

Just made the jump to slicks from R rated tyres and wondering if I need to worry about oil surge or anything else for that matter?

Nope, the baffle is good enough.

Just keep the tyre pressures low and build up the heat in your laps

Fair enough, all my friends seem to be using them, as they cost peanuts compared to R rated tyres so I figured i'd get a slice of the action.

Thanks

Some chap was selling some scrubbed slicks on eBay sizing is 210/605 R16 .. No idea how much they are brand new, but for now a scrubbed set will see me right.

FYI. They are Dunlop 720's
