Default From Radial to Radial Pro then to slicks

Ive decided to go full slicks, i came to the conclusion i wont ever 60 much better then 1.7x with a radial pro tire at our "track" its not even a track honestly, they will clean it by hand with a broom and they have a small manual tank sprayer with VP traccion compound they spray the first 60'

First i had M/T Radials 295/65/15:


Now i have M/T Radial Pro`s 275/60/15 wish work a little better:


What kind of slick would work best on the street? i kinda wanna give hossier a try, but have no idea what size i would need for my 15x10 bogarts? the 295/65 radials where a little big and the 275/60 pros a little small, something between that would look good IMO

I made a lot of really fast passes on the street with a Hoosier 28/10.15-15.. I’ve ran a 29.5/10.5-15 on a 15x10 it worked just as well but was really sketchy on the big end. Now I’ve got a 29.5/10.5-15 on a 15x12 double beadlock, it doesn’t wiggle or nothing at the big end.

This was my 370 on a 350 shot, on the trans brake, all in by .8 seconds on some hoosier 28/10.5-15 tires on 15x10 wheels..

I have run my Hoosier slicks on the street a few times with Bogart 10" x 16" rims and I was not impressed at all.
I just put on 10" x 18" Bogarts with the ET Street-R's, and I no longer go sideways when hitting it hard on the street. Pulls really hard and straight now..

I know we all have different suspensions and different results !

Those 15" look awesome on your truck by the way. I kept staring at the tires before finally realizing we have the same trucks.
