get some drag radials or slicks. Semis are designed with a hard sidewall which is crap for 1/4mile racing

Getting semis for the rear will only increase friction and slow you down.

ah i see , you got any suggestions of any particular drag radials or slicks?
and how much do they cost around?

Semis & stiff side walls are bad for Drags yes, but they are still a hell of a lot better that street tyres.

Agree. They are somewhat inbetween high performance road tyres and treaded slicks ( like MT streets for example )

To the OP - get some street legal slicks like these -

PM "HOTDC2"- i believe he has some for sale
