Default First Time With Slicks
i got a set of slicks and skinnies up front. i've never gone down the track with slicks before... only dr's.

i was told the car was gona rock side to side and i might have to cancell my powersteering?

should i just run the slicks with out the skinnies or just run them all? whats safer?

Run them both. You will be fine, it will sway more than street tires but you can handle it Dont let the sway scare you, some sway is normal, you will have to correct the steering more than usual.

You will feel a little floating in your car but stay with it unless your sideways heading for the wall.
