The question is, what is the reason why you think you need slicks? You would be surprised at how competent the current batch of high performance summers like the the Bridgestone re-71 and Hankook rs3 can be on track.

If you are just doing this as a hobby, or if you are new to track driving, I would suggest starting there and then seeing what guys at your local venues with similar cars are using as far as r-compounds go.

Cheers.

Agreed, the difference between and RS and something like the Yokohama A050 is only around 2 seconds / lap on a 1m50s lap of Philip island GP circuit.

You need a separate set of rims to carry the R-Specs (these are not "slicks" but a DoT style tyre with competition construction and compound).

In the USA, you will have a wider choice of R-Spec than we do down-under .. do your research and talk to Autocross'ers and track day junkies ... there are a few on this forum

A "slick" is smooth and has no tread ..........
