Hey everyone, a friend and i were thinking of buying a set of drag radials to take to the track so we arent constantly burning up his street tires. The car is an 06 civic DX with eibach sportlines,a c.a.i.,custum 2 1/2 inch exhaust from the cat back,comptech ss. we really dont know anything about radials, what do you guys suggest?

what size,brand,and what psi do would you set them at?

i know its a real "newb" topic but thanks for any feedback...

try some bfg's 225/50/15's they hook pretty nice

thanks any other suggestions?

For that power level 205/50/15 bfg's

thanks, ttt

go with the 225/50/15's. that way if you upgrade you still will be good.

The best 60ft I managed with the BFG drag radials was a 2.203, the end result was a 13.8.

thanks guys

225's are overkill
205's will do fine for a while...

205's are 22"
225's are 23.9"

i am very curious how you are burning up street tires? are you doing burnouts on them or something?

think he means that he doesnt use them up at the track and use the DR's instead

anytime you go to the track, lower your pressure and launch your car,you are going to burn your tires up. It would just be nice to have something to throw on,get better traction and not have to worry about it..

edit: also..thanks for the info guy

maybe if you are lowering pressure a **** load....which is not gonna help street tires anyway since they have stiff sidewalls and lowering the pressure causes the shape of the tire to deform usually causing worse traction but I guess each to their own.
