I would say no. Dont try them on autocross. They are for drag racing mine are too stable.

Um, what size are they? Drag radials typically have more sidewall and it's slightly flexible. For auto-x and corner carving you want a stiff sidewall. Drag radials might be worse than regular street tires because of the flexible sidewall.
