Hi, i have a 500whp 93 civic si hatch as my weekend car, and i wanted your guys opinion on some tires... I was origionally gonna go with the bfg drags but i am hearing alot about how they dont last long... and i hear the falken azenis are pretty good and last longer than the bfgs. Let me know what you guys think. thanks.

not even the drag radials are gonna hook on the street. you should try the Mickey Thompson ET Street drag radials. should hook better than the bfg. or if want just a regular high performance summer tire then go with something like the dunlop direzza d1 star spec or bridgestone re-11. the azenis are nice but more of a road race tire with stiff sidewalls (good for turns not as good for straight line traction)

500whp daily driver? if so, tires wont matter much because you wont have traction until 4th gear at best.

No its not my daily driver.. reason being no traction until fourth lol

what engine management are you running? look into boost by gear to keep the power down in the lower gears

im running neptune right now... tuned bt j-k-tuning. Thats a good idea, thanks ill see what my guy can do with that

John can definitely take care of that for you. Shouldnt be too expensive to add the boost solenoid either.
