Any drag radial will hook better than a street radial. But if you're looking at an 18, why not go with M/T?

I got a line on four of these falkens for $250.00 but just am wondering if it is a wise choice.

uh you're going to put them on all 4 tires? weird!

I wish my front tires could magnetically levitate so I wouldn't need them

You could probably get another .1-.15 off your ET if you switched to a 17" tire. I change mine out at the track

18s don't have any sidewall on them, you need wall crinkle to be effective

Even if they don't work that well at the track, for that price they'd be alot of fun to just toast 'em off and make some cool videos.
