All my tire questions are regarding autoxing btw.

The're not what you want for autox. Drag Radials are for drag racing. Very Sticky. VERY flexible sidewalls. The sidewalls will actually flex at launch (I'm sure you've seen the pictures of tires on drag cars wrinkled up at launch). This help prevent tire shock and the car launches harder with out spinning the wheels.

The soft sidewalls will tend to roll alot on a road racing/autox course. Typical road race/autox tires have VERY stiff sidewalls to prevent tire roll.
