Do slicks go bad?

[Smokey228]

I found some slicks, but they've been sitting around for 3 years...

For 700$ with chasers, are they gonna be a good buy? Slicks and front runners, only had a few passes on em...

Yes mate, slicks go hard over time...
Depends a lot on how and where they were stored as to whether they would clean up with a nice healthy burnout or not however. They need to be stored in a cool location out of sunlight apparently for best results.
You would be taking a risk in my opinion!

I bought them anyway

Haha Best of luck to you! Hopefully you got a good set!

They will make great smoke anyhow even if the grip is down a fraction

Yeh, figure they'll still hook up better than what i have.

Also, they were stored on rims, with no tire pressure, in a dark shed. Should be sweet. Still better than what i have anyway

[pandaah]

chuck a good skid on them see what happens =P

[jeffro ra28]

Maybe to preserve them a little further when you have them in storage, wrap them in glad wrap

[The Witzl]

i expect wheelies now jase.

[Smokey228]

Oh man, whitzl, if you can build me a 2step antilag out of foil wrap, 2 elastic bands, a paper clip, two empty toilet rolls and a half a ham and cheese sandwhich, i'll do a 400m wheelie for you

Pfft sif you need 2 step to lift a wheel.

[Smokey228]

You need power off the line to lift like 600kgs but for you cuzzbro, i'll try okay.

[Cuzzo]

Thats all i can ask mate.

Good Slicks create bullshit amounts of grip at the right temp and pressure. You can dooo it.

[Smokey228]

I feel without more power off the line, the car will just bog...

Cheers,
Jase

[Cuzzo]

You could try reving it harder?

[Smokey228]

You know what, if i dont get kicked off, i'll let you have a go fucker!

Cheers,
