    Stiff sidewall slicks?

    I'm looking for slicks for my turbo Focus. I have a set a 15x8 wheels on the way.
    Has anyone heard of Avon tires? Thoughts on these?
    Would I need tubes?

    I've heard from some vintage racing Mustang guys that Avon's are very good tires - and very pricey.

    MORE wheels?!?!?

    Cool thanks. Only 2 for the front. :D
    I'm selling my other set with drag radials. Time to move up to slicks. I could use some 4-lug Mustang skinnies to run on the "wrong" side.
