Do radial slicks hook better in the heat than bias?

I currently run a 12" wide slick and I think the widest radial slick is 10.5 or 11. I'd be nervous about going down in width. Also I don't know if they will go on a 12" wide wheel.

Hoosier makes one that is 13.5 wide.
From what I understand NHRA stockers often run a 9 inch slick on 12 inch wheels
