What options are there for 16.5 slicks? I understand many manufacturers are not making them now, so the question is, who still is for 2012?

TIA

Pirelli still currently develops and produces them.

From what I understand, Dunlop has either stopped or is going to very soon (just what I've heard). Mot sure about Michelin or Bridgestone.

Fwiw, Pirelli is moving wsbk to 17's in 2013, so I'd imagine the 16.5" production seeing a slower development after that.

If you're interested in trying a set of Pirelli's let me know and we can get a set sent out to you.
