the shinko and mickey thompson rear slicks are used by drag racers that street/strip ride there machines. It would leave you SOL in a road race. They have a real wide flat profile and a super stiff side wall so you can run on low psi . They are great for drag racing :D

i forget which catalog i saw this in but when they are describing there slicks they say something about being road race tires for a road course. :shock:
