Default Which slicks are better?
I'm getting ready to soon order a set of new slicks. Which are better, the MT ET drag slicks or Hoosier's?

11.81, got a goal of 11.49 in the near future - will be going back to 4.10's now that I've got some slicks. 11.92 was on Nitto 17" tires. I think no matter how much power I had the MT's wouldn't spin, even with 1000 hp IMO
