    where to get slicks

    does anyone have a friend contact that gets hold of second hand slicks in 15 inch? i keep an eye on ebay and the for sale sections on a few sites but they dont seem to come up too often now that renault are using 17s/18s on the cup cars, i only need 2 or 4 tyres as they last me ages on track days

    sticky slicks is a company http://www.sticky-slicks.co.uk/ but they have no 15's

    get a cheap set of 17" wheels and use slicks on them as cup cars use 17's so should be easyer to get hold of.

    had a look around the net for you and most people are saying they are very hard to find. go for 17's or run 888's unless you can afford 200 pounds a tyre for a new slick.

    Should've asked the Sunday Clio Cup racers at Mallory.

    Likewise, stick your head around the Michelin truck at the next RWS/btcc support races/brscc rounds, etc.

    Asked last time, they take the slicks back to get tested. Not sure if they will sell them on after that though.

    Ok, but that's how we sourced all the slicks for T-cup.

    Yes 13" they were fine to collect and the 17". They just want to keep the 15" slicks
