Virtually no give compared to a slick due to the radial construction, they act like a street tire in that respect. The shock sent through the drive spikes higher (especially when they slip and grab, wheel hop, or whatever) vs a slick which will absorb some of that in the sidewall. They are also harder to recover once they start spinning (in my experience) vs a slick.

I've broken two axles and a spider gear on drag radials with "stock" power in my Challenger, after going to slicks I haven't broken anything (yet) despite better 60' times.
