Default Slicks or Radials

i would like some opinions on what i should buy. i am going to mount them on stock steelies. I have a greddy sohc kit set at 7 psi and i will crank it up to 9 or 10 at the track. I am interested in bfg's and m/t slicks. Any help would be appreciated.

If you want to go as fast as possible I would recommend the slicks But depending on your driving style you might want to look into new axles to go with the slicks.

thats cool. i can find some spare axles. anybody else? for my set-up, what would be the best choice?

by the way, they will only be used on the track.

Less traction, less chance of breakage. Wheelhop is the biggest culprit of axels breaking.
