Slicks are super, and I mean super sticky. The entire driveline including rear end would need to be beefed up to handle the instant hit of the slicks. Pro radials are a good medium between slick and DR. still allow for the sidewall to flex, but aren't as soft as true slicks.
It depends on what trans you have, too. Most slicks out there are soft compound, so they stick like crazy. I've heard of a few people breaking shafts and such launching on a full slick over a pro radial.Disagree... I've seen more input shaft/axle/spider gears break from drag radials then bias ply or slick.
What about street cars running a 15"? It is a fair weather car so I don't care about wet weather but I hate the feeling of a slick "tracking". But if you think it is that far supior I will look into them and suck the feeling up.simple
stick - slicks
auto - dr's

I know they aren't but I am looking at a M&H or M&T, it isn't my daily so if I see rain in the forcast I will let it sit.on the street the radial is def the way to go if your driving on it. neither tire (if your talking the m/t pro) is rated for street use.
I however drive on them everyday.
cold weather is still fine on the m/t like any other stickier tire, but wet is a no no...
any stickier tire is going to be slicker in the cold weather, but I would still rather have the m/t under the car than anything else
