Hey guys
Just after anyones experience with street legal semi slicks. Looking for something that will suit fast street driving and a bit of track work.
Currently have 195 50 15 bridgestone RE002s and they are a good Street tire but don't really hold up to the brakes. So looking to step up a notch. Was keen on KU36s but they don't come in the right size

Anyone had any good experiences with other tires that they would care to share?

I have 205/55/15 ku36's on rear of mine
And 195/50/15 595rsr on the front can give you more Info after the weekend on how they went, not much in our range unless you wanna pay over $250 a tyre

you could try the toyo r888's, i havent tried them myself but everyone who has seems to praise them, theyre pretty cheap too....
not sure if they'll be suitable for a road car though becuase theyre pretty soft and wont last long at all

the ku36 or similar is probably what you need if you could get them in a size that suits, otherwise ive got some older
yokohama advan semi slicks you could try on the cheap, theyre 195/50

Don't know if you can get them in oz ,but I use 195x50x15 Toyo R1R's
Slightly less grip in the dry ,but a lot Better in the wet than 888 and last a lot longer.
