The Yokohama A032R's are pretty much street legal slicks.

I made some from elastic bands coated with several layers of Copydex. They grip well but are only good for 3 miles before you're on the rims.

Sounds good, how many layers of copydex? and what colour lackys did you use? lol

How do you know? have you got them fitted? if so what car do you have? and what are you compareing too?

I had some Yokohama A0 whatsits, can't remember now but they scared the sh!t out of me in the wet. Got rid of them after a couple of hundred miles for SO3.

I'd guess it'd be the super soft Yoko 32Rs (not the regular 32's). They melt a lot quicker than both the hard (usuall) 32's and the Avon ACB10's. (Which would be another contender).

Don't expect them to last long though!

Wet or dry? What duration runs? There are some extremely soft technically-road-legal slicks with token holes cut in for tread, but they will overheat in about a mile of hard use, wear out in a hundred miles of gentle motorway driving and be downright lethal in the wet. You might not want to go quite *this* extreme!

Thanks for all your responses, this is indeed giving great independant insight, the Use will extend to Dry conditions, 15 - 20 laps of circuit in summer on a rear wheel drive car.

Cheers guys!

soft compound ACB10's

My obvious 2p worth - I read a large tyre test and the best tyres in dry conditions are generally the worst in wet conditions. And vice versa. For the ultimate track performance, regardless of cost, you will probably need two different sets.
