What slicks do you guys recommend for a 17' rim. Looking to buy some slicks just want to see what you recommend

 

Slicks, there is only like 2 or 3 choices.... M&H, Mickey Thompson bike slicks, and Hoosiers (summitracing)

 

Use bike slick's. That's the cheater way of hooking up at the strip on 17's, allmost did this when i had my IRL but went with Dr's so i could hook on the street and still be legal for the ventura races... lol

 

where do i get said bike slicks

 

Mickey Thompson Performance Tires & Wheels

 

your such a sweetie

 

muah!

 

Mickey Thompsons

 

other than the bike slicks. there is no other tire worth getting on a 17

 

wouldnt that 6" tread width be kinda shitty tho? i would think a 225 or 245 drag radial would be better. then again. or what about this 225/45R17 Hoosier cheater slick?

slick>radial all day.

although, he is on a 5557 setup. the bike slick maaaaay not be wide enough for what he's wanting. be switching to a radial thats wider, will havce the same results as a slick that isn't wide enough.

if you don't road race or autocross your car. switch to lsj brakes, shave them down, and run a 15" wheel and true slick

 

buschur is gonna have those m&h slicks come march so well see about those...Idk whhat to get haha

 

im on the same setup

I know its probably not the best of choices but im considering the BFG Drag radials in a 225 or maybe a Nitto 555R in a 245. but idk...like you said, slicks>radials

 

its not worth switching to lsj brakes and what not to just run a slick a couple times a year..Thats why i bought a 17 see what i can find

 

agreed

 

well it syour car, not going to tell you have HAVE to do something. hahah just trying to give you the best options. and switching to lsj brakes you could also make some cash as well, probably enough to cover the cost of both wheels.

 

Ya i know what your saying but to me its just not worth getting rid of the brembos really anymore i thought about doing it now im not going to...Just gonna deal with a 17 and find some good tires

 

Well someone has to try the new M&H radial. Racemasters
