Got some semi slick rubber from another mate for track use :grin:

I rate these are going to be sweet at redstar next month.

Cool DB, I am very interested to see how the E46 runs with semi's... :coolShake:

Same, might lose a bit of that "looseness" enjoyed at Midvaal.

Nice DB, did you get alternate wheels as well or will you swopping tyres on your rims?

I have not yet found a second set of wheels - the same spec as mine with in my price range.

I will fit the semi's just before Redstar then, fortunately I use the bike to commute so they won't go to waste in traffic.

Indeed, this "looseness" is useless on the track. She should fly through the corners now.

That is true sir, but going fast without a laptimer does get boring, then the "loseness" is bit more fun.


Either way I think it is going feel hell of different, excited to feel it.

Those are not exactly semis.
Sure they might be softer than 90% of the other tyres, and might possibly offer 10% more grip than a Bridgestone RE050 for example, but its still a normal summer high performance ROAD tyre.

I like their look, and they should stack up better on shoulder wear when abused on a track than most other road tyres:thumbs:


OE fitment on some Subaru's

Well, I propped my LG last week Thursday :argh:, so now I have to take my upgrade, and with that the track app... so we will be logging times at Redstar.

Buzz kill :tease:

I have been using Duran's(don't even know what spec it is) until now :grin:

I really hope these hold up on the shoulder - the Duran's just could not keep up.
