Drag set up/ bias ply?

I'll be hitting the track in a little over a month when I get back. I'll be throwing my drag pack on but have a tire question. I currently have MT ET street R bias ply for the rear, have not got skinnies yet since the selection for bias ply skinnies are limited. Should I keep the bias ply for the rear or sell them and get non bias ply as I have never done anything racing with bias ply before.

Is your car auto or stick shift? If it's a stick, keep the bias ply.

You can run a radial up front with a bias ply on the back. Your car won't turn upside down magically if you do. I've done it before.

As mentioned before, if you have a manual, I would keep the bias ply... You need the soft sidewall to cushion the drivetrain shock. If you are an auto... You can switch to radials, if you want, but a bias ply will still be easier on your drivetrain.

M&H sells a bias ply 28" skinny, rides better than their radial imo.
