Because slicks have a wrinkle wall and you'll run non-bias tires w/ bias tires, your *** end may feel like its swaying a little when you reach 3rd and 4th gear.

Mine have held up so far but I have a 2nd Gen so I dont know if you can compare or not. I've been into the 11's several times with no prolbems and even had a couple of hops with street tires which is the worst thing you can do to your axels.

Ernie,

A little? I felt like I was driving side-2-side more than straight. Until I found out that the ET Streets had not "popped" onto bead yet! After that the rear was still swinging to another beat...just a slower one.

Nocab drove home in another set of 'em.

Here is the deal man, when your driving slicks it feels like driving on mush because you dont have a stiff side wall to keep your wheels from sliding back and forth inside the rubber. The walls with rock from side to side and give you a wabble feel in the rear.

Also you need to do a good burn out, here in my suggestion. Wet them in the box and burn them till you see smoke at your window (unless the wind if blowing the other way lol). Anyway, you get the idea, get them real hot so they will stick.

Tach it up to 5-6K and drop it. If you've been on the dyno look at your sheet, where is your peak tq??? Tach it about 500rpms above that.
