Default Will I get good traction with BFG Drag Radials?

Looking for people who have actual experience with these tires. My new motor setup once done is estimated to hit the 215-230whp range. This is in a 92 hatch.

Looking at the 205/50/15 size. Is it worth picking up a set? Is traction still gonna be a major problem? I've never actually tried drag radials...just slicks.

Thanks.

I would suggest to get a slick or at least the 235 M/T 's because I am running those tires and I might by some freak accident be running 215hp and I still have issues hooking. Just my .02$ though. Still a decent tire none the less.

I've gotten 2.0 60ft's on my 205's. But then again I was damn close on street tires (kumhos).

I for sure will invest in a nice set of slicks...however I'd like to see what I can run on dot street tires.

Would you guys recommend running a 225 on a 15x6.5 wheel?
