tire question

Okay so i just ordered some rear suspension from Team Z Motorsports and im curious as to what i should go with. Drag Radials or Slicks ? The car will be around 650 to 675 @ the rear wheels when we are ready to hit the track. Also this is a manual transmission. Thxs for the advice guys.

For me, occasionally swapping on a pair of slicks is no big deal and gets me better results.

Also, I'd go ahead and buy a few more manual transmissions....or one good automatic.

slicks most of the time for manual trans and most tracks. Not every track is good radial prep.

Slick

I really thought the radial technology has come further. I really wanted to drive this sucker to the track every once in a while and still have some good short times.

You could throw some MT Pro's on it to try.

It has but you mentioned one word....stick. And that thing don't make enough ponies for the radial to set and stay. IMO I don't even think the new Pro would work consistently. You bought that car to have fun with. Why mess around with Radial tire problems lol.

Put a set of slicks on it.... slide the seat up set the back so your comfortable " no lean" and hope to grab 2nd and keep banging gears from there that first to second is hell
