M/T radial just doesn't have the grip for me.. 245 X 65 / 15's..
To fit slicks I have to change the front tyres to crossply.. But with big brakes on the front it's not really an option.. Manual trans doesn't help...

Fullboost don't register Hoosier drag radial times in there Drag radial best ET's top 20.
They have classified the Hoosier Drag radial in the same class as a full slick.

I ran the 275/60 R15 MT streets which worked fine for me, found they were too unstable at termina on 17psi like MT suggest and ended up at 22psi.
