[QUOTE]Originally posted by FivePTSlow: [QB] This might be an old subject for a lot of you folks, but when it comes to tires I'm cheap, so driving around on slicks has never been in my mind set. Today I put my slicks on to break them in before hitting the track. Man what a difference in traction even on the street! Mash the throttle and go! No tire spinning, no BS just get up and go. Slow cruising @ 3000rpms in 1st gear I could stab the throttle to the floor, wot shift 1st to 2nd and still barely any wheel spin! These aren't even drag specific slicks. They're road racing slicks from American Racer 26.5 x 8-15(on 15x8" wheels)". They actually have a fairly stiff sidewall, so going around corners feels solid. Update: I have had a best of 2.03 seconds 60' time now, but I found out my limiting factor. My rear axle needs a rebuild. It takes a few seconds for my driver side tire to start spinning while doing a burnout. So I probably one leg it for the first few feet until my driver side tire kicks in. Once that's fixed I could probably get some 1.8/1.9 60' times no problem.
