i saw a video where a guy was driving back from a dyno shop when he got caught in some rain with slicks, he put it into the wall, not b/c of anything stupid just lost traction. So always check the weather.

I'm sure his was a strip/weekend car also, just got caught in some rain. I would change the tires at the track, never know when a small shower might happen (depending on where you live). It would just be a horrible, stupidway to lose your car

not saying you would but what if someone pulls out in front of you? you hit a small water puddle? you wash your car and you get a little bit of water on those slicks? i can handle the suspension i would NOT do slicks on the street drag radials but not slicks

^its kinda hard tho because
i found the perfect size tire that wont stick out with my 4.5" backspacing but its a slick not D.O.T .....................everything d.o.t is either way too wide or way too skinny.
