For drag racing they will slow you down because the side walls have less flix . On a road track they would be better grip because there is less flix. Depends on what you are looking for..

Unless you drive on the Drag Strip only they are not going to slow you down. They will improve your handling with good tires and also improve the appearance of your car. A good upgade that will get you dirty looks and comments from the guys with 15" wheels.
