Dont Avon do a road legal-ish semi slick in an appropriate size?

Nope, but Yokohama Advan do. Nowhere near cheap enough for the way Colin burns through them though. :lol:

To think I had been glad my tyres let me slide a little if I pushed a bit hard... When my MB was mobile I was scared of flipping it if I got too much bite on the road. As mine slipped I just dialled in the tiller & powered through.
So many delays to getting my MB back in order with 993cc & 5 speed transaxle... neighbor issue gone, donor shell up on rotisserie, new sheds on the way.... another project also..
