title should be "Do you think "sticky" auto-x tires and or slicks are DANGEROUS??? it....



So I got to thinking that it would be nice to have a second set of rims and tires for the few times that I've auto-x'd and for the few times I plan on going again....

With the price of slicks being pretty well within reach they are tempting...however, I am starting to wonder if there are dangers to going with super sticky tires and wanted to get the thoughts of others...

example 1...

let's say on a particular course one would hit turn 1 at 50mph on street tires..the combination of "slip" along with "squeal" would make the driver back off somewhat....

add slicks, and lets say the speed increases to 60mph with no "warnings" of impeading loss of traction...

It seems to me that the slicks could be dangerous in the wrong hands.....what do you think??
