Slicks or Drag radials
Hey Guys,
I was wondering what I should get, slicks or drag radials for the truck.
I was wanting slicks but I am being told that drag radials are just as fast without the weak side wall causing rearend movement near the end of the run.(I had never heard that comment before)
But I read post from guys that are not seeing much improvement from their drag radials.
My best 60' on F1's is 1.81. And I don't know which ones to buy. Thanks for any help.
