No, that is a street radial not a true slick. Actual drag slicks are bias ply tires and require you to drill your rims to hold the bead securely. Bias ply tires in the past were actually mounted on half sizes. For example a 16" rim was actually a 16.5 bead. Radial tires are mounted on an actual 16" rim. Thats why you cannot swap the two.
