Default ET DRAGS, on the street?

Can you safely drive ET DRAGS (not streets) on the street with tubes and screwed to the rims?

As long as it is dry out you will be safe.

As for the life of the slicks, driving them on the street ruins them!

I done it a while back on my 3rd gen before the mt radials hit the market and they did damn good as far as hookin but they wear out fast and they get real bad floaty going around turns.

Im not even gonna mention how fun they are when you get caught in a shower


if its a one or 2 night a week type of deal Id say go for it but if you actually drive the car I would stay clear of em. just my 2 cents

Yeah slicks get really floaty in turns, even at a normal traffic speed. Don't do it, it isn't worth it.

I drive mine on the streets and on the highway. I'm not sure if some would call it safe or not, but I do it anyways. I also don't have tubes, I just coated the inside of the tire with dish soap to stop them from leaking air.
