hello there im after a set of road legal slicks,

Iv seen the Toyos but in my wheel size they dont do a Profile 40 or 45. Yet they start off at 50 which i dont think will look great with my team dynamics.

What other makes do a road legal slick? i can only find the Toyos around.

Thanks in advance.

No such thing as road legal slicks.

Slicks are slicks, no treads (grooves)

For a tyre to be road legal it must have 1.6mm of tread minimum

The closest you might get is Dunlop Direzza 02G tyres which are propper trackday tyres with the bare minimum tread. The best place to start is Dunlop direct. Tel: +44 (0) 121 306 6000

Yokohama A048

Toyo have the R888 and the R1R, which is more compromised again in favour of road over track.

Yokohama A032r and A048r may be what you are looking for. You will need to get them via a Motorsport outlet rather than the normal channels. Toyo R888 are, I understand quite good but work better in colder conditions, the Yokies are better when hot, most are available in different compounds super soft, soft, and medium.
