Do radial slicks hook better in the heat than bias?
I've never personally ran radials, but my observation of others is they can be less forgiving than a bias slick. There are guys out there who's cars flat out work with the radials, but I think it's the guys that have their suspension/shocks combos on point. Most of the guys I see that do well with them run powerglides (Some do leave pretty hard though). I know of a few mopar guys that's tried them with leaf spring/superstock springs and ended up going back to a bias slick after a few weeks. The tracks I race at aren't always the best prepped so I've stayed with a bais slick as it seems when you spin with a radial you loose a lot more ET on that given run.
