Trackday Slick/Cutslicks info required.
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum section...
Im having trouble to find either slicks (new or used) or cut slicks for my wheel/tyre size. My tyre size is 185/50/14 for 14"x6" wheels and im currently using yokohama A539s. Im finding it difficult to find manufacturers that do the 185/14 in the 50profile in slicks/cut slicks. As I want these for trackdays. Can anyone help me out or give me advice on where to get from or know what is avaiable in my tyre size. Email me direct if needed Paul@cauldwell2900.fsnet.co.uk Thanks Paul |

Dunlop were the official tyre supplier to the Super Coupe Cup, so I ghues you should find a retailer of those tyres.

Thanks, I found these sizes for my 14" wheel, but is anyone able to translate the profile size into my 50profile meaning? As I cant have a tyre profile that is bigger than 50 as I'll have massive problems in arch clearance problems, but it can be smaller. Forgive me as I dont yet fully understand motorsport tyre figures yet as opposed to road comparisons.
Diameter Width Tread Width 185/575-14 D105 Slick 557mm(21.9") 193mm(7.6") 186mm(7.3") optimum rim width= 7.0" Also a 185/575-14 A8W Slick/Wet(Cutslick??) optimum Rim Width=6.0" My wheel rim width is 6" so Im assuming I shouldnt really go for the full slick (as it 7" rim optimum) but the other wet one, is that just a cut slick really??? Thanks in advance. Paul |

unless a particular series runs 14" rims then you got no chance id say.
most id have thought either run 13, or larger than 14, more like 16/17. wheels arent that dear tho, you should ask a few race tire manufacturers, they are quite helpful really! at £500 a set they are very helpful!! lol |

Honda CRX (Now part of the Super Coupe Cup) use Dunlop 175/555R14 (A8D construction)
5.5"-7.5" rim BRSCC Ford Si use Dunlop 175/555R14 (A46D construction) 5.5"-7.5" rim A race wet tyre is not just a cut slick, they will have a different construction and a very soft compound that will overheat very quickly if used in the dry. |

I'd suggest the new Avon ZZRs, but they're only from 15in
 They do look like a good trackday option though.More info here http://www.coopertires.com/us/en/cor...ase.asp?id=308 |

You can get Yoko A032R for 185x55x14 which are close to the size you want.
They'll be a big step on from your 539s |
