You definitley needed some new tyres as the other semi slicks were nigh on slicks when I last saw it

apparently when the tyres get warm the tread expands out making them more slick

Serious question, will having all that sidewall not be a bit flexible and worsen the grip? Or is my theory flawed there?

It will when you add a tiny bit more boost in the higher gears now youve got the fuel pump and system to compensate. TBH

no, 195/50 is the lowest profile you can get in 15's. On a 7j wheel thats fine...but those wheels must be 6j, nic? to have that negative profile from tread edge to rim...
