Do any company's make semi slicks in 195/40/16 or 195/45/16? If so anyone got any links? Cheers guys

How do you mean semi slick? I don't know many to will go to that low a profile, you can get Toyo 888's or Yoko A048r's in 195/50/16... but you need to go wider to 225 before you get any of the big names making 45 profile or lower.

I know that doesn't really help, but I hope that helps :P

Well wanting something along the lines of semi slicks for road use for my nova know toyo 888's come In 195 50 16 but don't think that will be any use for my height also 205's wouldn't be any use as would just scrub sides so was kinda hoping there was a line of tyres out there for this purpose but doubt it :( hopefully someone comes up with something cheers

For road use why do you feel the need for semi slicks?

The thing is, 195 isn't actually very wide for a slick tyre when you're up to 16 in rims!

Need to go wider or taller if you want anything better, but the Pirelli's are pretty good if you're stuck with that size :)

Faker will look in to them cheers

Cheers southie will also look

Stuart peester is correct just for doing local track days an not have to swap to come home wont be for every day use

Kbf71 cheers will look in to them might just have to get 15" for the tyres an find other rims

The pzero neros are epic tyres for a non cut slick!

kbf71 you're wrong. Toyo do a 205 on a 40 aspect
