They use lower tyre pressure, and the tyre wall on slicks folds over itself (there are two tyre walls)and provides more surface area to the ground when first taking off and the tyre then unfolds itself providing the acceleration that would have been lost by the wheels spining. Torque is right that the tyres need to warm up, if u take a good look the burnouts that they do at the start of the 1/4 mile they position their wheels on a puddle of water to start the burnout. So slicks work so well because the have a much better compound and a different tyre setup than street tyres. If anyone disagrees with me or thinks i'm wrong, plz state ur view here. I have only read a few articles on the subject and only been to the drags once, so feel free. [Report message to a moderator]
