i know you're not thinking of running the MT's on the street right?...
otherwise, at the strip, your A520's will be fine.

I ran the same slick on my rotas, you'll be fine. I would run them at 12 psi. Don't worry about the radial tire warning, you regular tires should be fine in the rear.

I would start the psi at about 15 and work your way down, traction will depend on your style of launch. Yes the radial are fine on the back, just take the turn onto the return row slow and you will be fine.

I run my regular street radials on the rear with no problems, but I can't help you on the rims, I run 15x7 K1s.

m/t 22.0x8.0x15 is the racing slick.....we have a set on our civic......it made 180 to the wheels....if your gonna run that slick at 12 psi good luck. too much slick and too little power.....even on our car we ran them at 19 psi....launched at 7500rpm...the car weights in at 2450 w/ driver and ran only a 13.8 @ 96mph....our old set up ran 13.4 @101mph 20.0x6.0.14 m/t at 8psi...and you have to get them real warm before you can do a 7500rpm launch...any rear tire is fine...just keep the weight down...also no tire shop will mount a 22.8.15 m/t on...with out a tube...the bead on the tire is really sticky.....but if you want there is one shop out there that can do it...they did mine with out a tube......pretty scary..90 psi to bead the tire!!!
