So I am looking at running my AU..
Is it going to be worth putting on some 225/50/16 Kuhmo semi slicks? Something like this I currently have 235 18's on, how much difference is it going to make?? Or am I wasting my time?

They are more designed for cornering, but would be better than a "proper" Street tyre

Oh well, looks like a goer then
I'd go full slicks but with my AP's finding some front runners to fit over the breaks is a little hard..

These tyres will make no difference to street rubber as the compound and sidewalls are to stiff to be of any real help. You would be better off running decent street radial tyres and only go 15 inch so you have some sidewall to play with

M/T ET Streets or Toyo RA1 or R888's are what you are after Cam.
