Slicks - Has anyone used them and Pros/Cons?

Soft and they have some side wall.

What tires are you running upfront?

Was 18 by 5 race stars. Going to be this with beadlock d5s in the rear. They have not come yet. Coming from Texas. Delayed due to weather.

Hoosiers also in the front.

Ready for the 12th! Old setup with race star and m.t. was 56 pounds. New setup 56 pounds. I expected to gain weight with the beadlock. But the Hoosier is lighter than the m.t.

Bias ply slicks - Great for traction on a well prepped surface when you launch straight and don't get squirly at the 800-1,000ft mark!

Cons: Everything else.

These are radials.
