All tires brand new are slick but after about 50 miles they are good to go. Did ur buddy drive to the track? If so there is ur 50 miles. The reason they are slick is that the manufacturers apply a special coating over the tires for transportation and to keep them from degrading while on the shelf in a warehouse
