I wouldn't try making a radial tires work well on a stick shift car at the track, none of the NHRA stick shift cars are running them as far as I know
I would and have ran the M/T ET Street bias ply on my old pump gas Duster that ran 10.40 at 127 b+ MPH cork up with the air cleaner and full exhaust on the car weighing 3450 lbs. with me in it, the same size ET Street Radials was around .15 quicker and almost .5 MPH faster in the 1/4 mile on a good track, not worth a hoot on a bad track
Test, test and test some more
