my set up will most likely be 16' te-37's wrapped in dunlop sport 9000's or toyo t1's both @ 205/45/16

but when dragging, would i be quicker slapping on my stock 15's with drag radials, or the 16' volks?

would the extra grip compensate for less weight on the rim?

it's a toss-up between the two tires.
i really like the dunlop sp9000, and the toyo t-1s is a great tire as well.

my best 60ft. on street tires(2.10) was on dunlop sp9000's if that helps.

but i hit consistent 2.15-2.25s on the t-1s also...

 

a friend of mine hit a full second faster changing from stock to 15' slicks, this was on a 2K1 civic Si, I'm sure it may be different on a R but just wanted to put in my 2 cents, since it is all I know about this topic.

 

It depends how you launch your car. I only shaved 1 to 2 tenths off my time by switching to a slick from a drag radial.

 

"but when dragging, would i be quicker slapping on my stock 15's with drag radials, or the 16' volks?"

Go with the drag radial. A lot more consistancy if you heat them up.

 

good point, he was pretty consistent though because the next day he kept hitting the same times, give or take a few tents.

 

What were the 60 ft times?
