Slick Usage Question
 
Wondering how many Super Stock racers use bias-ply tires for most of their runs, but put on radials when they have to go as quick as possible (e.g. heads-up race during eliminations, running for class, etc.). Also, for those who do use bias-ply tires, what is your usual air pressure? Thanks very much.

We've had awesome luck with M/T tires both radial and bias ! Your spot on with bias on a every day use our truck is a GT/TC truck 327-250 short time in the 1.31-1.33 range . We run 18lbs in the radial and with the 14/32 bias 14 - 15 depending. We change the bias out because we feel guilty not performance based around 150 passes. The Mickey's have been awesome ! Hope this helps.

IMO, radials are the baddest tires out there if you can make your car work with them.

I'm just a lowly bracket and Super Street racer, but I put 240 passes on my last set of 9" Hoosier radials.

Do you change the fronts also, bias-bias and radial-radial?

Nobody changes fronts. Never seen a drag specific front tire offered in a radial.

Thanks, good to know, now I won't waste my time looking for one.
