    Slicks

    I want some opinions on slicks. What do you guys think will work at the flashlight drags the best? Mickey T's drag radials in 275-50-15's are useless to me on the runway! I have no traction till 3rd. gear and thats with the suspension adjusted! Drag slicks or cheater slicks? Which brand? Mickey, Hoosier, or M&H?

    Slicks will work the best but if I am not mistaken are not legal to run at FLDs. Your best bet is probably a MT ET Street bias ply or Hoosier QTP.

    Try a 275-60-15. Seems to work quite well for the X275 class. Big Turbo engines. You must be making some serious power there.

    QTP's work great at the track, but I am not too sure about an unprepared surface.

    Not just the tire there...something is to be said for the suspension setup and driving styles...
