Default Buying good slicks...sizes?

Hi,

Last season my ITR was starting on slicks 18/58-15 (EU measure) = 7x22x15 = 22x7x15. Now Im looking for new slicks. I found Mickey Thompson 22x8x15 but I dont know if "8" isnt to much?(there are no MT slicks in size 22x7x15) What size do you suggest to car like mine (mods in signature + Skunk2 stage 2's + higher compression)?

check into the sizes of M&H slicks as well. they have more selection as far as 15" slicks.
they come in:
23x7.5x15 that might be a good size for your setup.

Hi cpforyou; to answer you ?, its the way the slick was built. Keep the directional ------&gt; pointed forward. If you do not, the slick might separate @ the seam.
