Slicks overkill?
I'm a convert from ET streets to drag radials (1.52 60's with ETs, 1.43s with DRs). Never again will I deal with them, the tubes, or the instability, especially on a street-driven car.
A stock 10-bolt won't like either of them, but a stalled auto is generally more forgiving.

You would be better of with a slick VS a DR on a 10bolt IF the DR hooks. The softer side wall cushions the blow.

I run MT dr's, have used 275/15's and now just a set of 255/16's, I get plenty of traction with either. The added benefit of being able to drive to the track safely with the wheels & tires already installed are well worth it to me. I wouldnt even consider running slicks even if I was making way more hp, unless it was a track only car.

I gotta agree with greg, pretty rad for just a street prep car, if you were race preped well that's one thing but for street prep......well using slicks is like using an atom bomb to kill a fly, or tripple wraping on a ho, way overkill, just sayin
Manual cars seem to favor slicks, autos a radial. This is not the rule though. Personally I have no desire to run a slick again. Not fun on the street and a radial hooks just as well if not better for me.
