U can run a Dr at the track with a stick, the likelihood of success is very low. We all know once a Dr spins, it won't recover like a slick.

I ran GM (sbc, bbc, LSx, T56 etc) for years. I'd never run a drag radial on a T56 car either. Of course anything with a factory T56 / LSx has a bigger weak spot than the transmission. And it's not Ford specific. If you go to Mickey Thompson's website they specifically recommend bias ply tires for stick shift cars - that's been the case for the 30+ years I've been wrenching.Man, coming from the GM world and running DR on LS based stuff with the LS6 and T-56 I don’t understand why u can’t run a a DR on a 6sp GT
Is it a light build, that weak?
Crazy, so many guys I know did it for yrs, I totally get ya though, the wrinkle in a bias is superiorI ran GM (sbc, bbc, LSx, T56 etc) for years. I'd never run a drag radial on a T56 car either.

What is the setup that went 1.6? Power? Weight? What car? The reason I ask is cause 1.6 maybe good for that setup but not good in another. For example my fox coupe in sig, a 1.6 is a horrible 60ft in that car.Well, my experience, if you want to run a street/strip tire, I have tried quite a few. My favorite is the M&H drag radial. Yup, a radial with a stick. Work great on the strip and the track, never broke anything with them, pretty consistent 1.6 60"..
