I'm not disagreeing with anyone but I can only go by my own experience, I run the s/s full time on my car and it isn't uncommon for me to drive for a couple of hours at a time so they have been heat cycled quite a bit since I have had them on the car... last weekend I drove for 2 hours straight and made a handful of pulls with no spin and last night went out cruising with a buddy on his cbr1000rr with the same results so something is obviously working, or maybe my car is just too slow

Wider is not better for straight line. Contact patch doesn't change.
Big thing people don't talk about with drag radials is heat cycling and turning hard. They hook great, and I can put down 1000+ on a fresh set for the first 2-3 weeks, then they heat cycle and can't hook up 1st or 2nd at all.

I deff feel like this is a issue. Felt like they hooked much better when they were new...

They lose a solid 20-30% .so if you have that head room may not notice .hooked 1000+ fine at first then only hold around 800. So if you only make 800ish may not notice .
