Default Slicks Vs Radials for the R

Which do you prefer? I hear slicks are more forgiving.. where as drag radials break axles more?

M&H slicks with cryo-treated stock axles.

Not sure what you drive or what you have done to your caR. You can describe more.

In my case, I have bolt ons and have run my caR with both Azenis and BFG drag radials. My axles began clicking after 2 passes with the BFG's. I ran very similar 60ft times with both tires. Not much difference in launching techniques either. I also suck at drag racing unless it's on teh sR33t y0!

IMO they are a bit too much for mostly stock R's and may not be enough for heavily modded high hp ITR's.

I'll probably end up doing Azenis for a while.

I hear slicks are more forgiving than drag radials though.. any truth to that?
