As above do not purchase silverstone slick tyres in hard compound (or any other compound i'd imagine) drokking brutal was like driving on ice first half of session which is understandable but what came after they got heated up some wasn't much better. Absolutely brutal tyre. My mistake for not reading up on them before i bought them.

That is the danger of slick tyres. If you don't have a car capable of handling them they are dangerous. Do you have a warm up procedure to get heat in your brakes and then into your tyres before you begin to go for it?

The cut slicks also have the tendancy to de-laminate. Wouldnt touch Silverstones

Yea merline done 2x 20 minute sessions to get heat into them driving half easy. There just pure Clubbing Eddy. Unbelievable they are jobby. I never had problems with slicks before. 5/6 laps and they would of been mint. Could of through it as hard as you wanted into a corner and theyed of stuck. These are on an other leavel of badness.
