i don't think semi-slicks are the ideal type of tyre to use for drag racing... i always thought my street tyres were better than my semi-slicks when i was engaging in traffic light gp's. The sidewalls were really stiff, i remember one tyre getting a puncture and dropping to 18psi, i couldn't tell by looking at it because the sidewall hadn't collapsed at all. these were the RS-V04's.

i never got to test the semi's at the strip, but i managed consistant 2.1's using goodyear eagle f1's at 20psi. I doubt that the semi's would have matched them.

i think again it depends on how much power , driving style etc factor on this 60ft time.
i used to run dunlop do1j on my d16a8 powered sh!tbox EG . ran 2.1 sec 60ft with 15 psi.

and i believe homer swift gti are running r888 for drag and he pull some nice 60ft.
