[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 15684616, member: 68944"] Pretty much what svt_troy deduced. You need skinnies when you run a bias ply read otherwise the front tires are far too wide and tram line whichever direction the rear sends it. Look up how many people have wrecked cars at the drag strip running slicks with full size fronts. And further on point, the rear is too loose stock, compounded with 15 years of time, I'd hesitate to send a stock 03 cobra down the strip on slicks let alone a modified one. I run drag radials as well and it's a known fact that drag radials are the worst thing you can do for the stock IRS because one grippy launch will sheer a stock shaft. Too much play, so the shaft gets a nice compromised defense play and can't handle the stress, so it sheers. I thought you meant a true bias ply slick. That's honestly much better because the aired down tire has such a stretchy sidewall that it absorbs the torque load nicely. Drag radials are the worst tire for a stock irs because they grip very hard, almost like a slick, and have a rigid sidewall. Very easy to sheer a shaft or damage a hub. The street is very different than the strip. In my town I register the car out of town and can do whatever I want emission and inspection wise. That said I know drag radials are a poor tire choice for an IRS but I and many others build up the rear to basically handle it. [/QUOTE]
