Ok, can any of you guys help me out.

I about to pull trigger on a set of Hoosiers but I keep hearing reports of these having movement within the rims especially on the slightly heavier/powerful TT's. Is there any other options/brands out there for a Slick Tire.

 

Is there no track guys here?

 

do a search on Rennlist...

I see michelin slicks on the cup cars in my neck of the woods...

 

Thanks PJS, will have a look over there also, just trying to find out if there are any other tire options out there

 

Not sure what comes in your sizes but the general consensus seems to be around Michelin and Dunlop slicks followed by the Yokos.

 

currently 235/40/18 on a 8.5" front and 315/30/18 on a 11" rear

 

not hoosiers!

Michilene or dunlops ar the choice tires... the only choice for a slick...

they hold up, good turn in, dont get to greasy,,, fast after first lap and remain relitve consistant

hoosiers are very mushy feeling turn in is slow dont grab well under heavy braking...

 

Thanks what sizes are available?

 

Hoosiers work ok not as good as Michelin Porsche CUP slicks.

 

Is there any clearance issues (rubbing) with the Michelins?

 

No I use the official PC size in 18"

 

Steven,

The Hoosiers you are about to buy are DOT slicks and not true slicks. Hoosier doesn't make them yet in our sizes. I think they have just released a cup car size this month.

True racing slicks are a different animal. I think some of the recommendations you are geting on this thread are for racing slicks and not DOT slicks.

 

Al Norton is right...

Call Fabryce at GMG -- they have experience with slicks -- and they even had some slightly used ones for sale recently.

 

wasn't the tiitle "brand of slick"

Hoosiers are not slicks
That's why I recomended mich. Or dunlops that's what I have found to be best tires out there...

 

you guys are forgetting a GREAT slick...the pirelli pzero...I LOVE THEM. I know I talked to you earlier stevo, but thats atleast the brand I use (d4 and d5s) and I lOVE them.
