i dont see how they can, considering a semi slick tyre is designed for track/circuit use so it would take much more than a burn out to get them up to heat. Well thats what i thought anyways on those runs i did. Unless we are talking about those BF Goodrich drag semis which are real soft and can get warmed up easily.Quote:

Just a noob question, why does semi slicks make a big difference? more grip?Quote:

What should a stock dc2r run with street tyres? 14.8?
and what should a stock dc2r run with semi slicks?
Just want to compare the differences
Super stiff sidewalls though...Quote:
