The tires i have now are slicks as well but they are meant for lateral grip. They are very stiff side walls. They dont do well on launch but they are meant to turn and grip.
A drag tire and a road race tire are 100% different. I sold my drag tires as i gave up on chasing an 1/4 time slip. Its just not what i wanted to do with the car.
