Most go the other way with performance mods first and then stickier tires when they can no longer get good traction on street tires or drag radials. I think by your comments you car is an A8. I am not familiar with the results for launching a A8 on slicks but most on this forum go drag radial with the auto. My car is a M6 and I would fear potential drive line damage using stock half shafts and drive shaft if I launched with slicks on a prepped track.

Thanks! They were on the wheels when I bought them. Also the bigs and littles drop weight, less drag, etc. But I’ll be getting another set of rear wheels to run a radial. I do a lot of no prep too so that’s the reason for a stiffwall. Yea it’s an a8 also. A slick will also cushion the hit/shock that the drive line takes from the hit over the radial. I’ll be running an ET street radial pro over the other set of wheels. I’m coming from the 4th gen LS world so just trying to see if it’s any different over that.
