where to get grag slicks

I wanna get a pair of drag slicks to get some better #'s

where can i buy them and how much they cost, what size do i need?

I dont want drag radials because i rather get the best traction with the slicks.

thank you

are you sure he should not just go 22" instead? If you can hook on them, they will be faster than 24.5's.. how much power do you have? If you are still similar to the setup in your sig, I'd look at 22x8x15s. others input?

Unless he's trying to delay a shift or something. I originally went with a 26" slick which would under normal circumstances be considered WAYYY too big in order to run out 3rd gear in the 1/4 mile rather than having to shift to 4th. How my car was set up back then it was a good thing. Now that I've got a totally different rev limit and power band they are hurting me. On slicks I'm crossing the line at like 6600 in 3rd wheras on my street tires I cross at like 7000. My next set of slicks will be smaller and wider, probably M&H 7.5/23-15s.... though that might be too short and leave me having to shift into 4th again.
