With the wheels i was thinking that with only 1mm clearance the design wouldnt have to be much different to touch.

I was thinking about putting my BRM wheels on for track use. I guess they would have the same problems :-(

Doesn't the BRM have the larger brakes?

BRM has 262s but it was more the heat dissipation I was worried about. I set fire to my brakes on the last track day I did =-O
I was thinking about trying to get some slicks and wets as I have two sets of brm wheels, a set of straights and the compomotives that are on it.

Any one know where I could pick up some cheap part worn track tires?

Maxxed_Ross · 23-10-12, 05:31 AM

ask about the local garages, as they have to pay to dispose of old tyres anyway and most of them will have enough tread for the track

I have a local place that sells part worns but I doubt he has slicks and wets.
How does the sizing work on slicks by the way?

Are ordinary worn down/bald tyres any good??

Or are they dangerous, with no grip???

Maxxed_Ross · 23-10-12, 10:54 AM

slicks are a totally different compound to road tyres, so bald road tyres will just be dangerous lol

the sizing on slicks is a bit weird, I'm sure mine are 650 or something daft even though they are mounted on 17" rims. I think it has more to do with rolling distance. I'm sure someone on here will know
