Title: Slicks...??? Post by: Frank LUX on December 12, 2006, 19:50:13 pm Hi Guys,
When is it Time to change your Slicks??? I notice some Side Wall cracks on mine, should I still use them (BTW, i'm running Tubes in them) or should i get some New Onces??? Any Opinions Welcome, Frank Title: Re: Slicks...??? Post by: Shubee2 (DSK) on December 12, 2006, 22:27:36 pm How Old Are The Slicks? are they dry rotted?

I think they are too old to make good times, but first for testing they will work !? At this time you need wintertires ::) I changed them right now Title: Re: Slicks...???

Only some minor Cracks in the Sidewall, these are not the Old Blausaure Slicks... Frank Title: Re: Slicks...??? Post by: Petter Carlberg on December 13, 2006, 21:09:07 pm I think it´s common that they use different quality of rubber, good soft rubber for the running surface and cheap crappy rubber on the sidewalls, I have had slicks with cracks just after some months. Just remember to heat them up :)
