Re: Tire sizes

Well, here is my thought. I am considering running a cheap street tire like the BFG's and then running slicks for my second set for racing and open track stuff. What are the best track tires? I usually run the Goodyear slicks on my cobra but I don't think the fronts will fit on the RCR 40. I could spend $1000 a year on tires and that would by 2 sets of slicks. If I switch to Hoosiers or Avon's I don't think I can buy slicks that will fit for $125 each. Is that the case? If I could find an "almost slick", I could run a set in the spring then buy a second set for the end of the season. I could use the old track tires as my streets. I really only spend about 10% of the time running around the roads the rest of the time is on the track. Anyone have experience with this "perfect" tire? What ever it might be.
