And in all honesty bro if you actually provided some proof to your claims other than just throwing out random numbers and just saying "you can feel the difference" then people might actually take you seriously.

I would think 26x8x15 on a decent drag radial would be perfect for a n/a setup. Also for the ones saying slicks would be a waste, rotational mass has a large effect on your times, and you cant get much lighter of a tire than a bias ply slick. Who cares if people make fun of you for running it on a 13 sec car. its your car do what u want with it.

The biggest reason running slicks is not recommended is not due to it being a waste but with some of the issues seen when launching on just sticky tires you risk breaking cv joints running something as grippy as a slick.

That was the reason I had said a bias ply slick. yes it does grip better but it is much less shock to the system compared to a radial due to how soft the sidewalls are on them. guys were having the same axle issues on 240s back when I was running one. I never had a broken axle and had many sub 1.5 60's.

Low torque n/a engines need a little wheel spin to keep their rpms up too keep from bogging. With slicks on a car that only makes 180whp ;) ;) he could dump the clutch at redline and not even chirp the tires, hell I doubt it would even be able to do a second gear burnout to get enough heat in them.
