They are real close to the same price there bro depending on the size. There is no comparison in performance on a FWD car.

well you would think the difference would be 60ft. and wheel hop depending on track condition and tire pressure.....................HHHMMMMMMMM!

Slicks for sure if you just plan to use them at the track. Keep in mind you will need somebody to go to the track with you to hold the slicks if you do get them.

I would go with slick any day of the week, but im all wheel drive so is much easier and will be more affordable in the long run.

Price isnt even a concern in this case since cost is VERY similar.

Drag Radials are about $240-300 a pair dependon on the size, brand and where you get it.

Slicks are at the cheapest (22x8x13) are $250/pair and the common biggest size 25x8.7x13 are $320/pair.
All other sizes are in between.

So for price and performance comparison. Slicks are obviously the better choice.


As far as 60ft comparison, slicks of course will get you a better 60ft. Man, I've even cut a 1.99 60ft on regular Bridgestone Potenzas and those are regular tires.

1.57-1.60 60' vs
best on bfgs was 1.76
average is 1.84 on bfgs
2 1/10s in the bottem = 4 tenths up top
