It will be better than street tires sure. They're is fast m6 cars running radials but they normally have a lot of suspension tailored to that tire and set up. With radials, you will probably spin or bog. A bias ply will allow you to spin some but recover and prevent bogging. You could always ride the crap out of your clutch... But I doubt the ls7 will like it to much. I had a set of used 275-40-17 mt radials at one time and couldn't hook them for crap.

I run a set of 275/50/15 MT ET Street Radials on my 6 speed WS6. I have not been to the track yet, but they launch really well on the street.

Might as well, you won't be out anything. Maybe you can make them work. Just dont be upset if you skate half way down the track lol

That was no nitrous 60 foot was 1.87 and didn't have a issue. That was on 555rs. I think it comes down to people not knowing how to control the car and just wanna smash it to the floor

Yes you have to modulate the throttle or clutch much more with radials. That is the point everyone is making.
