If you aren't driving on them then why would you waste your money on a radial? Get a damn 13" slick.

Hmmm.. for the track I'd go with the BFG Drags. Also you might look into a very soft street tire shaved down by a shop. They wont last long but you may get some inexpensive stick out of them.

For street racing..... lets see... what am I thinking....

Oh yeah, just get a gun, sit in your car, put it in your mouth and pull the trigger. Now you have gone 0 to dead faster than any other idiot out there. Dramatically shortend your time on the street. Problems all solved.

Huh??? no cops are out on the track...and they certainly arent going to arrest you. And the last time I checked the number of deaths due to ILLEGAL street racing was WAAAAYY more than track racing.

Dont come in here and try to argue street racing...

This is definitely not the place to mention street racing and that's one of the many reasons why this Competition forum is so great.
