What size semi slicks?????

Post by samual »

Hey guys.

I starting to get my stuff together for my hill climb racing.

I have the option of using 3 size rims for my semi slicks on front only.

13GX Std , 14ET Std and 16's.

I need to keep the effort in steering the car down. Need to make sure i can turn the wheel easy and quick.

So will the width also come into play as well??

15's would be best, but since that isnt an option, 14's will be better than 16's. but then you also have to consider tyre wall height, power, etc

Agreed with above.

Try and get a soft compound as possible for hillclimbs. Not much time to build heat into them.

Or Dunlop D03's

Race it.

I agree. 15s would be best, I use yokohama advan a050's they are a good all round semi slick, and are road legal too, They do take a little time to warm up, but have excellent heat retention compared to some other tires :)
