Drag Radials
Im looking into purchasing some Nitto's or BFG drag radials. What size should I get ? How wide can I go and is that better? I have some stock 95 gsr rims.

Check out the new BFG G Force drag Radials. They are more import friendly sized. 205/50/15 are correct sizing.
Tire Rack want $105, Jegs $110. Jegs was cheaper but just upped their prices.

i've run the nitto's 205/50 and they were good. very low 2.0 60's common. 95% of the time i was under a 2.15. i'm running the new g force bfg's in a 205/50 and although i haven't been to the track yet, i'm willing to bet there going to be better. i've heard from others that they're stickier than the nitto's but so far its been too cold to go to the track. it seems as though the bfg's have a bit more sidewall. that should be good for the track at about 20 psi of pressure.
either way, for straightline racing, both the nitto's and bfg's are better than anything else out there.

the nittos don't last very long. they last for only about (roughly) 15,000 or less. and YES, they do suck major donkey ***** in the rain. i don't know about the width of your 14 inch rim but the 205's fit on my HX rims

Re: Drag Radials (LsTurbo91)
the stock 14" rims would be lighter than the steelies plus the 14" drag radials are cheaper than the 15" rims. plus, i didn't know honda made 15" steelies
