Default First year racing, Slicks or Drag Radials?

Hi everybody, this is going to be my first year drag racing at our local track. nothing competitive just for fun. i was wondering what was the best tire setup to start on? I was thinking a set of BFG G-Force T/A's on some 15X7 Slipstreams would be good to start learning on but for a little more i could get Lenso's and M&H's. Also what tire size would you all reccomend?

BTW Car is a turbo 98' GS-R, should be at about 350hp. Thanks

Slicks. 23x8's.

If it's just for fun run's you'll have the most fun seeing the lowest E.T.'s so, get some slicks.

get slicks man. you wont regret it.

if youre running stock GSR brakes, why not get 13x7.5" lensos?? you'll get a bigger sidewall w/ a 23 or a 24.5" slick. just a thought.
