So I've been running my.boosted t brake full suspension car with et drag.slicks for years and they work great. What I don't like is at the top end the car walks alittle and it feels dangerous.
What if I switched to a 275 60 15 mt drag radial with a little stiffer side wall. Would that even come close to hooking on a 9sec car with 1.4 60s?

Radials are harder on drivetrain components.
A friend of mine has a 1,200whp supra, he uses Mickey Thompson drag radials 275/55r15 and hooks in second gear on the street, but for track racing he uses slicks due to the lesser strain on the rearend and transmission.
