3055S vs. MT Pro Radials

Let's hear some pros and cons on each. Building a new car and seriously thinking about going to the radial. I will probably not be running any radial classes so this is a strictly which one is gonna be better situation. 1/4 mile racing only.

A slick will be more forgiving. Radials work great when chassis, power delivery, and wheel speed are correct.

Huh?

You'll need a steep learning curve on the radial. Just use the slick and keep it simple......

Just curious because been reading some saying the new pro radial hooks as good as a slick and better top end stability.

Nick I may be the "askhole" I have talked with him a few times about this subject.

I guess I will just stick with the slick no need to complicate things anymore.

I was just kidding ,,,,,, just found it funny ....... carry on

Radials are only good a a radial prepared track....for the most part
this is based on what I've seen and read...no personal experience with any radial....all my friends use slicks

Those S's will be plenty stable on the top end.

Not me :-)

Heresbhow I see it. Your doing a new car. Its never been down the track. It should be faster than anything you've had. Its not a car thatvwill be predictable to you. Why complicate things. Just get it down the track consistantly before you start trying to be fancy.

put the slick on it

Points taken gentlemen will be putting the slick on it with a tube.
