As I discovered the other day in the wet, nylon tyres really aren't that good.
If anyone has a real rubber one lying about, be it an old slick or whatever i'd be keen to buy it (90 or 100 would fit my bucket, its an old RG50 wire rim)...

18" slicks are not that easy to come by. Better off converting to 17's.

Yeah thought of that. Easier to try and find an 18" first before I go down that road...

On Skunk's pretty white 18' rims? I have no idea what they are (Skunk will know) but they were ok in the wet and the dry, always felt a bit 'hard' but were not too bad really. (Love my tyres on Rangi though... oh and the 17s... immm rubber!!)

There's shit old 18" slick sitting here. It's Sketchy's so best you PM him.
The Vee Rubbers are hard, but no one fell off the AX's that wore them. Cheapest 18" with 'nice' tread I could find.

Cheers Skunk - will do that

Gave that tyre a good scrub down to get all the dust and crap off - not too sure if it merits putting on. Has a fair few crack in the sidewalls although it hasn't bled off any preessure (pumped it up to 30psi and left it over night).
Im unsure how safe it would be with a bit of hard use so although my current front tyre is crap ill leave it on for the moment as Im pretty sure it wont go "pop" out on the track.
How much is one of those Vee rubber's BTW?

Best possible 18" tyre still available; Dunlop TT100GP quite a bit more expensive than a Vee-blubber but you ride hard enough to make the difference worth it. By far the best wet weather tyre you could get for that rim!

You can get wire-spoked wheels re-laced to make them smaller, no? (If that's what the OP meant by wire rim.)
