M/T's don't grip that good? I think you need to get another resource for information. I got about 8K miles out of my M/T's. Roughtly 25 track passes with burn-outs. Some playing around on the street. Proabably had 5-6 more passes left when I had them removed.

If your getting a drag radial, you probably want traction. If you want traction, go with the M'T's.

Are you talking about an actual bias ply street slicks (basically a full slick with a few grooves in it in order to obtain a DOT label, such as the ET Street or the Quick Time Pro) or a drag radial? The radials are the kind measured in the format that you listed above, while the bias plies list inches for the height and tread width (i.e. 26x10.5x15).
