Tim,
I have the Vintage slicks for the track. Really good and sticky.
I will buy another set of the rain tires for the street at some point to replace my original tires, just for the look; as the car gets less street use than I expected.
Now, I have had an experience of taking the car out of the trailer with the slicks on, just for a run into a town that we were spending the night. "Just to see the town." Here's the problem: the slicks are really a soft compound and pick up every stone, pebble, and spec of dust on the road.
Every piece likes to find some part of the body to make contact with.
Bottom line here is; our little trip into town ending up being about a 30 mile trip around the lake thru some pretty rough roads. We got lost - really lost. Even had to stop and ask for directions.
Saw the town and the whole lake, dam and all! Luckily, no damage to the car - but would I do it again - NO WAY.
Now the rain tires are not as soft a compound (as I understand) and probably better suited for limited street use. I do believe Jamo has them on his car for street use (from what I remember reading here on CC- best check with him for an accurate answer).
Good luck,
TL
