Yes, once I had the slicks, they stayed on...it sure made a difference in hooking-up off of the line. I started out with a ET Drag slick then switched to the ET Street...that made a difference as well.
The stock tires, without nitrous, were spinning so bad off the line, it was hard to be consistant for bracket racing. I coulding imagin what it would have been like on the bottle. The cost for the factory tires were crazy as well...I couldn't afford to be replacing them regularly.
