I know bias plys are preferred for manual cars, but I wanted to get a feel for those running drag radials on stick shift cars.
I currently run a big and skinny race star setup with 28x17x10 Hoosiers. Even with 19psi, I don't care for the sway that inherently comes with bias ply. Additionally, its a PITA to swap wheels and tires at the track and hauling the extra tires with my jack between the backseat and trunk.
I was interested in going with a 17 inch MT ET Street R radial so that I can drive the 50-100 miles to the track, air down, run, air up, and head back home. I also didn't take into consideration when I purchased the Hoosiers that they disqualify me from running in the street legal drags on Friday nights.
So....who out there with manual transmissions have been launching at the strip with radials and have not broken anything yet?
