Where can i get Drag radials or Road legal slicks.

Hi,  it is really drag tyres i want as opposed to track day tyres.   I have heard of some road legal drag tyres before, but i\'m not that fussed about them being road legal, it would just be handy.

There\'s nothing wrong with road legal slicks, in fact without them we wouldn\'t have the most exciting UK Drag Racing series (CCSE).

I have a pair of Mickey Thompson Sportsman Pro\'s in 28 x 10.5 15J ; these are awesome and will vastly improve the hookup off the line theoretically lowering the 60 foot time.  

However, you have to remember that more grip places more strain on the axles, bearings, ring and pinion, diff casing, etc.  So by eliminating the "slip" you get on road tyres or track style slicks and switching to wrinkle wall drag tyres you\'re probably going to be looking at a swift end to something else in the drive line.
