15 inch slicks
Chaps
Would like a set of 15 inch slicks for my BMW e21 316 trackday car, it's actually a full on race car, just neither wife nor life insurance lets me race at the mo. I had some 13" slicks on my road E21 for a trackday at Croft last year (melted the outer edge down to canvas on the NSF in a 20 minute session), and enjoyed the grip. The "new" car is stripped caged coilovered throttle-bodied and generally race car like, so a set of slicks would be nice. I have several sets of wheels but need 15 inch tyres to go on a 7 inch wide rim. I could buy new ones, but they appear to be £££ and I don't know where to buy, some used ones that would last for a trackday would be best though. I have used 13" Toyo R888's which were as good as the 13" slicks, but sadly my new cars rear brake calipers won't fit under 13" rims. So - where can I buy used 15" slicks, or cheapish new ones? Cheers Jim |

Bump
Someone PM'd me with an offer of some tyres but I got sidetracked and then deleted it. Does anyone have any used 15" slicks available?? Cheers JIm |

Hello,
I have some 15" slicks that came with my Sierra racecar which ran on 7x15 rims. Will have a look at exactly what I have but I definitely have 1 new one and should have at least 3 others with around 3-4mm of meat left on them (I have about 10 but not sure of their condition). They won't be used by myself as I now race on 888s so I will have a look when I'm next at the workshop. I am near Coventry so not too far away. I also have a set of 4 15" Dunlop wets that have never been used and a set of 5 good 16" slicks (1 new one) which I was going to put on ebay. Must get my arse in gear and find the time. Regards Craig |

Sounds interesting. I've found a chap on pistonheads with ex radical fronts but a bit expensive for my current budget. Let me know what you have/prices via PM.
Cheers Jim |

Sent Tim some money and he managed to find a sensible priced courier that would carry tyres. Apparently they are too dangerous for interlink express to carry!
Just working out the plan with Craig and I will have a year or so's worth of trackday rubber. Thanks chaps! Jim |
