That is another thing in Super Street I noticed the 2wds had a hard time competing with DOTs against 4X4's
Agree may have to let 2x4 use slicks

Mickey Thompson makes a pretty good dot approved tire.
I believe the Red Rocket on the west coast runs them and i also believe the Stucky Crew runs them in the east.
ISomeone stated earlier in this thread and I agree , we need more competitors out supporting events and filling up the classes,
I believe they are called Mickey Thompson ET's they are dot approved and have small grooves in tires to make them street legal. They are not a true slick but close
ET Street
Worlds Fastest D.O.T. Class Race Tire.
World's Fastest D.O.T. class race tire. Same great features as our race winning ET Drag with a D.O.T. stamp that meets the rulebook specifications for street tire classes. Tube type for extra sidewall strength, better air retention, and more consistent ET’s.
D.O.T. Approved
Compounded For Maximum Traction
Requires Little or No Burnout
Engineered For Consistent Performance
Acceptable practice for rim width is tread width plus or minus 1''.
IMPORTANT: ALL DRAG DRIVE TIRES MUST BE MATCHED TO BE WITHIN 1/2'' ROLL OUT.
CAUTION: It is not recommended that radial and non-radial tires be mixed on the same vehicle..
For the few trucks that run strong in superstreet come this big argument about gaps in the classes. Is it because people don't like losing or what. I mean next race you guys go to pay attension to how many actual 10 and 11 second trucks are there.

If that's a drag radial I can tell you first hand they don't stick. I bought a new pair at Indy 305/45/18 et street drag radials and did nothing but blow them away.

We run the street drag radials on our truck, so does Max'd out racing and we have really good luck with them so not too sure why you would have issues with them.
Ahh.. That makes sense. Try the MH racemaster Cheater slicks. I know some guys that are running them and they seem to hook really good
At the NADP August Blackout, there were 20+ SS trucks. 6-8 in the 10's, 6-8 in the low to mid 11's, one of the trucks in the finals i think ran low 12's. It might have run a high 11. Point is he got a few breaks with broken trucks and made it to the finals. I say leave it and maybe increase weight 500lbs. ( for the ford guys LOL) and maybe get rid of slicks altogether.
Cant kill the DOT slicks.... most all of the 4x4s that run into the 10s are on Drag Radials, a 2wd truck don't have a chance with pair of radials on the back vs a 4x4
