Using stick tire I think could work your brother could be right auto may not hit them hard enough to plant the tire,but are'nt the radial sidewalls about as stiff as stiff sidewall stick tire?

I never say this can't be done or that can't be done,cause I've seen alot things that work now that was never thought possible,years ago.
What happened to you that your brother turned out right and you have automatic,where did your parents go wrong that you turned out that way? LOL

There are plenty of stick cars in Comp and SS running radials. You really need the proper clutch setup to pull it off. The complaint I've heard repeatedly is, there's no recovery time in the radials. In other words, if you spin, you'll keep spinning which leads to aborted runs. It's no secret...your clutch makes or breaks ya! Literally.
