Anyone running slicks?
I'm looking for something with a bit more grip than a regular DR for the drag strip. I am starting to look into running a slick/radial tire on 18's. Anyone do anything like this? What tires did you go with and what size? Any downsides?

I am daily driving 305/35R19 NT05R's and the best 60' I had at 587whp with my M7 was a 1.79. Not great. (They were brand new when I tracked them)
Now I have 785whp and am sizing down to 18" wheels in the rear. I may have to go with 285/40R18 MT ET Street S/S tires, cause I can't seem to find any better radials or slicks in that size. I want to bring that 60' way down to 1.5x at least.
