I had stock radials up front with MT ET street drag slicks and it went down the track just fine. It feels a bit different than regular tires but nothing that you need to be worried about.

i think that tire is not bias ply like a slick so could be different right?

MT makes 2 types of ET Street tires. they make the Drag radials and these

I had the bias ply tires. also had HOOSIER Quick Time Pro tires, and i know its unrelated, but the MTs hooked way better, but they both felt similar with radials up front.
