Just got some slicks!!
I finally got that alignment i was talking about in an earlier thread and i needed to replace my tires, i got Falken Azenis (street slicks) on my Lude..... cant wait to pick up my car after work!! 
u guys think i did the right thing? or should i have waited till i had some more mods to get slicks??

slick=not radial, or bias ply for that matter: TOTALLY slick. not for street use.
Azenis= a pretty darn good radal tire. good multipurpose tire.

Re: Just got some slicks!! (armharm)
its a sticky street tire...
its not as sticky as a drag radial though
they have a very soft, sticky compound that makes them grip and wear out really fast...but they have a stiff sidewall which is bad for drag (thier only disadvantage)

Re: Just got some slicks!! (armharm)
What tires did u have before? If u wanted a tire for good straight line traction, the BFG's G-force drag radials are the way to go.

Re: Just got some slicks!! (armharm)
its ok that they wear out fast, i'm going to buy some nice rims in a couple of months anyway.... btw... by you owning an h23 do you know what i'm talking about when i say i want more grip? i mean with my standard tires i would peel out if i launched at 3k rpm even if i wasnt racing... these tires will prevent that.. right?

I got a H22 and I peel out if I launch at 3K. First, learn how to launch from the line! And then worry about sticky tires.

hehe... hoping i could avoid gettin to that...lol... but seriously... wont someone's reaction time be significantly less if they have slicks cause they can launch at a higher rpm? especially on a lude??
