[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 15837191, member: 166576"] [USER=189686]@12wendel12[/USER] You have to be realistic about what the car is going to be used for the most. If its mostly street, youll be ok with the radials. When you go to a track that has traction prep on it, that's when you can bend an axle with a radial. Even with a meaty sidewall, the radials dont flex like a bias drag tire will. They can also induce a hop in the rear end that you may not feel, but its definitely bad. Automatics have a torque converter that acts as a "shock absorber" for the driveline. In a manual car, thats what the bias slick acts as. A full car weight, all the torques and no give in the tire or the traction, the weak point is usually the axle or driveshaft. With a 1 piece driveshaft, its definitely the axles lol. If your doing a lot of street dig racing, even with these S/S radial drag tires youll smoke the tires if your launch is to hard off the line. Suspension upgrade is critical. 275 vs. 295: both probably have similar grip. From my understanding the street radial pro and S/S inner tire structure are identical.
