>it's a semi Slick bro
>they're high performance A/S bro
"performance" cars with autotragics is so pathetic but i dont understand the hate behind owning the peak convenience transmission in my appliancebox
>>28895473Semi Slick is an actual class of tire used in racing though....
>>28896047I think the meme is about having them on a road car, which ranges from pointless to hazardous
What is better bros? High performance summer, max performance summer, ultra performance summer, or giga performance summer?
>>28896047It's actually not."Semi slick' is a outdated term from the 2000s before the SCCA changed tire class rules.>>288963914s and Sport 02s are god tier street tires and dry and wet.Shit in the ice and snow though.
>>28896207Used to run them on my slightly modified 440. Only way to put the power down reliably. I would check the weather forecast every morning to see if there's rain or not. I got surprised a few times but it wasn't that bad.
>>28898396When I took my car to the track, one of the bits of advice we were given was to stick to road tires, since they give a lot more sound feedback before they lose traction. But on a 'race' tire might seem more sudden, if you aren't already familiar with how much you can push it.Not something you couldn't handle if you're practiced, but again OP is referring to retards who think gear means skill isn't important
>>28896397any opinions on the Eagle F1 Asymm 6? cross shopping against the ecs2, since I really liked the previous gen on my last car but they're supposedly just as good or better
ur mums a semi slick
>>28895473>oh these are the weapons?
>>28898952>since they give a lot more sound feedback before they lose tractionapparently bias plys are even more forgiving in this regard. they're not as grippy as radials but what grip they do have, when you push it to the limit it gradually loses it rather than being more sudden like radials.but i doubt you're gonna find bias plys that'll work with anything made past 1980 lol
"performance" cars with manual tranny is so pathetic we all know that shit is slow car cope
Are r888r semi slicks?
>>28898971No, Proxes R is Toyo's semislick. Proxes RS1 is their slick.
M H Thompsons
>>28898971>>28898982yes they are
>>28899443Not all r comps are semislicks.
>>28896397Oh so you know more than Hoosier tire?https://www.hoosiertire.com/news_article.cfm?cid=73925>Hoosier is proud to announce a new multi-year agreement with the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) to supply a custom “SMX” DOT approved semi-slickEat a dick, LARPing faggot.
>>28898970But it is fun
>>28899945The SCCA articles are written by women these days anon.They don't know what they are talking about.Hoosier or any other tire maker do not call their 200tw a semi slick.There's no such thing as a semi slick.
>>28900524Its literally from Hoosier's website, not SCCA.Whats your next excuse?
>>28898968i feel like using bias plys in this day in ages is just being a caveman for the sake of it. I mean it's fine for classic cars for the sake of being authentic, but if you're trying to learn or perform you're probably losing too much to gain too little
>>28902108i may be biased but bias ply has always plied my bias if you bias my ply
>>28902108>for the sake of being authentic,Nobody is going to run leaded gas or organic brake shoes juat because they were factory.There are radials that look just like bias ply tires.
>>28898986wtf is that
>>28902469Mickey Hoosier Thompsons.Do you even tire bro?
kek
>>28902460i know a guy that only uses leaded gas in his classic
>>28903310Unless he only drives 5 miles a year, it'll be cheaper just to shell out to have his heads machined for hardened seats and bronze guides.
>>28900524Man I hate dealing with women holy fuck
