CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Slicks vs. drag radials on lower classed car?

I used to bracket race my '69 Dart. Car ran in the 12.9 to 13.3 range and first ran Mickey Thompson Sportsman Pro bias street legal tires. Switched to MT slicks and saw zero difference in 60' or ET. The slicks may have been a little more consistent on a marginal track, but were no faster. Obviously not drag radials, but I feel a worthy comparison.
