I'm in the same boat, I have to swap my front brakes when I go drag racing (currently running Hoosier 24.5x8 slicks on 13" Lensos). The MT 16's will probably be too big for a Honda/Acura, but Hoosier is supposed to be making a 225/50/R16 drag radial https://www.hoosiertire.com/Drtire.htm part #17320. I'm trying to order them now, hopefully have a set on order this week, and I'll post about them after they come in.
