Myself I like the radial slicks. I use the Hoosier 30 x 9 radial slicks and even drive on the street on them. The pair I had was on my car for four years so I bought a new set early this year but did not make it to the track until Oct. After it spun on my first pass of 10.81 it then ran 10.76 three passes in a row so it had good consisdent hook. I have had pretty good luck hooking on the radial slicks and they handle much better at the top end for me then the bias slicks since I have a street radial tire up front. No wandering in the traps with the radials up front and radial slicks. I guess you gotta use what you like and what works best for you but I am happy on the radial slicks. Ron
