Old slicks?

[edb49]

Can anyone suggest where I can buy some part-worn Radical slicks? I'm in Berks, so the closer the better. I'm after them to use on my track day car, so don't need brand new tyres.

What size? I have 2 Vehicle sets that'd fit a PR6, Prosport or SR4.Their racing life is over but fine for trackdays.

Cheers, Mark

I can do SR3 tyres (and SR4 as well after Mark!).

The sizes I'm running at the moment are:

Fronts: 210/550 R13
Rears: 250/570 R13

So anything around this size would be good. I think this is pretty much the same as standard SR3 sizes?

[BertBert]

Current SR3's are 15" and 16" not 13. So not sure if they are PR6 or SR4 sizes.

Those are possibly Avons?

Current PR6/SR4 (wider wheel option) Dunlops are >

Fronts: 190/535 R13
Rears: 230/570 R13

Yeah, the current tyres I've got are Coopers (Avons) on a CN spec car. (Juno.)

Didn't realise the SR3s were on 15" rims!

Looks like the SR4 tyres will fit, but don't know if anyone has any other suggestions for getting part worns closer to my size?

[edb49]

Ack, F3 seems to be this:

F: 180/550 R13
R: 240/570 R13

Shame.

They're Juno/F3 sizes. Usually quite a nice selection of part worn wets out there, though you'll stuggle more to get slicks in those sizes sadly.

Hi Ed

As I recall, your car is on F3 Euroseries ATS wheels - like my Speads.

I would have thought there are plenty of F3 Euroseries teams throwing these away every couple of laps.

Hi Johnny,

I can't remember where I found this now, but I think that F3 cars run these sizes:

F: 180/550 R13
R: 240/570 R13

I've just had another look and found this from 2008:

http://www.britishf3international.com/Regs2008.pdf
F: 180/550 R13
R: 250/570 R13

So have the fronts got considerably wider in the last few years in F3? Or do they use different widths in the Euro series?

Hi Ed

If you Google 'Used F3 Tyres' there's a chap selling a few sets of hardly used British F3 tyres, but they are the Britsh sizes that you quote and I don't know whether they are suitable for your wheels/application.

Personally - on the basis that, ultimately, it is the tyre that is in contact with terra firma and is doing all of the work - I'd spring for a set of new tyres, but if your not chasing real grip and the British F3 tyres fit, I'd fill my boots...if you'll pardon the near pun.
