Do drag radials have the same feeling that drag slicks have? Meaning do they have a soft sidewall that makes the end of the 1/4 mile feel like you are a bit out of control. If you haven't driven a car with drag slicks (my bro's 442) its kinda scary, great get up and go (no slippage) but at the end when are going near 100 mph the soft sidewalls make for an interesting ride, that being said I would imagine that this crazy sensation would be amplified in a truck that is as high as ours is in the back.
