Help with slick/drag radial sizes

serturbo · 04-12-2011, 11:52 AM

I prefer slicks on a MT-equipped car because drag radials don't deal well with shock. You'll have to be careful with your clutch when using DRs. That being said, there are no drag racing slicks available for an 18" wheel. The closest is Mickey Thompson ET Street 26x11.5x17, iirc.
