Default are these tires good for traction with boosted hondas?

i would like to get some drag radials but no one makes them in 205-45-16. some dont even make then in 16" at all.. but they make them in 17" and 18". i guess they have to make money by supporting the ricers.

but anyways i have a boosted hatch and right now im using kuhmo ecsta supra 712's and they are horrible with traction.. slip throuhout the gears..was wondering if these bfgoodrich g-Force T/A KDW-S are any better?

Im running the KDW's on my car right now....they are pretty good for traction.....However, If you're just going to be using them at the track, you may want to consider the KD model. I'm not boosted or anything, but the KDW's stick like hell in hte corners.

I am pretty sure that they come in that size. Only better tire you could get are DR or slicks, but for dd these tires are perfect.

I've hear really good things about the g-foce t/a. Supposedly the best for dry ground acceleration for street tires.
