  • Radial or Slick

    Went to KDale today and wasted my time. I run the 255/60 dr and unless it's perfect conditions...it might as well be iced over cause its a waste of time. I can't decide if I want to take a chance on the 275s or just buy a slick. I'm tired of going to the track and wasting my time if its not perfect.

      Id throw some slicks on it. Or work on the suspension to get the radials to work.

        Tires work on a perfect track prep, not so much otherwise.

                              Pfff that turd doesn't have problems hooking....

                              If you're trailering it, might as well go with a slick. Would suck to lose a race just because you wanted it to look street if it's not going to be on the street.
