I'm not away Perrili making any drag slick, they might be road racing slicks. They do not work well to drag with.

What is your power level? I am a big fan of M&H slicks.

I never heard of the pirelli slicks either.

I have used M&H, Mickey Thompson, and Goodyear. the best being in that order.

when i buy used drag slicks, i look for any cracks, if the rubber still feels soft..... like a wad of bubble gum, you dont want a hard slick. if the slick feels dry, i dont buy it. also.... a big factor....... the WEAR HOLES. make sure they're still nice and deep.

drag radials have less side wall support than other racing tires. They all wear out pretty quickly. If they were street legal radials then there should be a decent amount of tread on them if your gonna buy them. I have the Bf goods drag radials and they have a 0 for tread wear. drive on them for about a month and they be gone.
