I'm using 235 60 15 mickey thompsons, it hooks a solid 480-500 whp in 3rd gear on the street

ilikejesus

where did u purchase them from?

I ran the same 235/60/15 MT ET street radials, I picked them up from Summit because I was getting some other stuff at the time. They hooked decent for me on the track and really well on the street. Lasted pretty long too, I actually sold them and they still had a lot of tread left after a year at the track and driving around town a few times a week.

turbo-crx

do you think they would hook the same in a 235 60 14 the same?

I just ordered this bad boys (crossing my fingers that they are good) 205/50/15 FALKEN AZENIS RT-615

Kelvin Racing

(Azenis)On my ls turbo setup with about 250whp of boost I had to feather it out alot and 2nd gear would still spin then when I got close to 3rd and from there on I had traction.

Soo goodluck ^

205 50 14 BFGs on a 230-250whp 90 hatch. hooked decent. would hook a lot better with 225 50 15 bfgs.

more of a road race tire, stiff sidewalls arent the best for straight line traction especially on high hp applications.


im pretty happy with the 225/50/15 bfg's so far. its my first pair so we will see how long they last before i make any more judgements. those 235/60/15 are giant and to me it seems they would be hard to fit under the car for daily driving, they hook like crazy though

i use 225 50 15 mickey thompson and i put down the 700hp to the ground on my k20 using boost by gear.

JG85

I'm gonna be giving the m/t et street radials 235-60-15s a try. I've heard nothing but good things about them. Hopefully they'll fit on my integra RS, LOL.

and ow did they work?

I ran Nitto 555rs on my last 400+hp setup. I put almost 10k hard miles on them. They hooked great, not as good as bfgs but they did really well and it was night and day difference going from toyo proxies to the nittos.

We wore a set of bfgs out in 1 weekend..

On my current setup I am going with the new ET street radial IIs. They are more size friendly that the old ones and they are the same compound.

235/60/15 M&H dot bias ply's.

How are those working for you? I thought about possibly using those, but I'd be using regular tires out back and they say not to use bias plys with radial tires.

I have a set of 225/50 15 BFG Drag Radials. I ran them for a summer as my daily tire and they wore just fine. They hooked well on the street (315whp/216wtq) and at the track. I'm curious to see how they do this summer with the jump in power...

M&H cheater slicks D.O.T or MTs! FTW
I have used bfg's on my car with 600hp on dd driven. It sure did last long but it never hooked like M&H cheater slicks. Only downfall for m&h tires was it did not last long...

225/ 50/ 15 BFG drag radial here, did decent enough for a 3k# car with healthy torque/ hp numbers. I would hook 3rd gear on decent pavement with boost by gear droping it down around 20ish psi ramping to 24.

really would like to go bigger but I am unsure if I can fit the 235/ 60/ 15 because of its height. I really wish someone would make a 235/ 50/ 15 but obviously the 60's are work so well because of the tall sidewall as much as the added width.

ahobbs

dang you can say that again!

dpetro1

the 235/50/15 would still add height and width over the 225/50/15 (even if its only about .3"). might be a nice happy medium though. the 235/60 is just so damn tall at 26", just doesnt seem reasonable

KeyserSoze

The tires work really well. Unfortunately they make my clutch slip. Perhaps its not the best idea to run 300+whp, traction bars, koni/gc and sticky tires on a exedy stg I clutch.

Just do a search there have been a few threads about those tires. Although it seems the search leaves a bit to be desired now.......but u should be able to find some info on them.

Also, the owner of M&H is an awesome dude. I picked my tires up at thier store in Bakersfield and he was a really cool guy.

I just got my set about a week ago and they are pretty grippe. But I also have a set of 205/50/15 BFG's
