I've never noticed any "dancing" on the top end (only 113mph) with bias ply front tires but I've heard that before. We really like the Hoosiers and have used them on other cars before. Even though they say DOT it's pretty much a slick with two very thin narrow grooves.

even though this thread's title is "drag radials" the op is not asking about DOT tires, rather radial slicks.
