Default Michelin Pilot Racing Slicks

These are at the top of the charts right now for road racing.

I have in stock a full set of racing slicks for 18x11 and 18x12-13.

These are optimized for warmer weather.

Please PM me for details

Michelin 'Leases' the tires to the Le Mans cars. These are the 'customer' slicks.

I bet the LeMans tires are designed for each type of car. They make great product from cars, trucks to earthmovers and racing on two or four wheels

Would love to, I'm all about getting my customers the best possible performance for a price that makes sense for everyone. I can setup pretty much any race car with the Michelin Pilot Racing Slicks.

What sizes did you have in mind?

I know the michelin slick sizing numbers are a bit different.

But I need a 225-245 front and a 295-315.

What size wheels? What are the ambient air temps you're expecting? How long will you be running each session or stint?

You can go 24/64-18 for the front. Also the 27/65 rear, or 27/68 rear.

The softs are better in cooler weather and are probably faster for the first few laps. The Mediums will last longer and are better suited for 70-90 degree weather.

They are non DOT full racing slicks, no tread. Michelin racing slicks is the name of them.

Sport Cups are dot semi-slicks.

These are the Full Pilot Racing Slick. The 'customer' slicks. They're the same family as the Le Mans cars. But the Le Mans cars are a little faster. They're so secretive about their compounds teams can only lease the top R&D Slicks.

Here is some more info

For maximum grip and handling, Bowmanized is proud to to announce the Michelin Pilot Racing Slick is available for track domination. These come in multiple compounds so we'll have to discuss the track and ambient air temps you're expecting.. Full Soft and Medium Soft are available. Generally the full soft best when AMBIENT air temps are 70 or under. Medium Soft is for 70-90 degrees fahrenheit. Available in sizes that are made for 18x11 and 18x13.

Please contact me if you're interested or have any questions.


  1. Benefits:
  2. Quick, consistent lap times from the 1st lap to the checkered flag
  3. Predictable handling for both professional and amateur driving
  4. Excellent front/rear handling balance
  5. Quick turn-in and high levels of steady-state cornering
  6. Consistent quality found in every Michelin tire


  7. Features:
  8. Tire architecture and tread compounding developed through Michelin's motorsport programs
  9. Precise sizing and tire profile developed through professional racing series applications

Price is around $1425 depending on what sizes exactly you want to run.

Every situation is different, as it depends on the use of the tires to determine the best ones for the job.
