Basically to minimize sway on slicks you want a skinny bias ply up front and keep your psi up as high as you can with out loosing traction. Even doing all that your still likely to feel some sway because that is the nature of a slick.

Remember drag slicks are for track use only where the surface is perfectly smooth, flat and straight. People mostly choose a slick over a drag radial because they absorb the shock of a manual drive train better than a radial and there more consistent at the track especially if the track prep is poor.

25psi in a biasply slick is going to lose traction like you are on ice

I do not recommend over inflating the front radials when on bias ply slicks. You will get even worse sway.

I haven't found anyone that makes a tube for a 17" slick? Anyone?

And I would never run 25psi in a slick, not worth having a slick at that pressure.

I experienced the same sway on my car with those slicks on 8" wheel and stock PP tires on the front. I just ordered a set of race star skinny wheels for up front.

15psi in my 28" hoosier on a 17x9 and it is very manageable with 20x9 Forgestar fronts.

My lack of spinning also means I need to get back out there with this new intake and start spraying:)
