Do you think putting semi slick on the mini is good?

The yoko A539 is a good alround road and performance tyre for 12inch wheels. Worth about 110-125 each so not cheap. I got my Dunlop Formula R's for my 10x6 wheels for 125 each but I think for 12s it is a fair bit more expensive.

We have A539's on one of our mini's they do handle the wet quite well but I have not pushed them that hard in the wet. ( still quite easy to get under steer in the wet but much easier to control than the falkens that were on it) :wink:

i highly recomend a539's and yes they are great in the wet, easy to correct while understeering. they last a while too, i've had mine for more then 2 years, drivin on everyday and quite hard too, still rwc. just make sure to rotate them
