I suggest that you contact HP Tyres on 01327 301887. Speak to John Pearson or Steve. They are v helpful.

Dunlop website will give you prices, and they are a good product.

"Stock" sizes make buying easier.

BTW, BTCC teams will throw away their 17" slicks after a session. Many of these will have some life left in them for privateers, and can be picked up for a fraction of their new cost if you ask the right peoplewink

True and very cheap. I got a WTCC set for £100 off ebay and they have plenty of life left in them for track days. If you're racing you might be fussier.

I have got loads of slicks in 265 x 645 x 18 if anyone wants some. Mostly they are brand new, albeit a couple of years old, and are very cheap. They are ideal for track days.

Cheers,

Richard.
