    Hehe... the problem with slicks, though, is that they're undriveable on the road...

    In full drag trim, a FWD car can be on staggered sizes, with larger wheels in front, 14" steelies or worse, emergency spares in the back. The front tires will be 15" or so, with wide tires partially deflated for extra launch grip...

    Can't imagine driving on that everyday... even though the dragsters drive their cars to the strip...

    So low pros with wide rubber will be fine with me...

    As a rejoinder, though, I know some fellas hitting 13.5s with 15" rims and 50 series tires, and no funny stuff on the back hubs (full sized wheels there, too) . They're intermediates, though, so they do have to take them off at the end of the day, to preserve their lifespan.
