Just a reality check here not trying to be a wiseguy,but if you are worried about breaking any part you are in the wrong sport,if you are not running hard because you are not maxing out your equipment,enough on that.

89LX said it best,it is a crap-shoot with any sticky tire and an aggressive launch,I broke an axle on the street in a 82 GT 4-speed with Michelin TRX tires on it go figure.

To answer your question,Drag Radials are a little more forgiving then slicks,but once again it is a crap-shoot.

Good luck and 250 dollars for towing? I would push it first.
