im a strong believer in the BFG's ive had 2 sets and going back for a 3rd

 

yes, but is there better tires in that size, and what are the minimum size rim it should be mounted on??
SnoFlake, how many hp do you have and what time do you drive a quater mile??

 

i ran the 205x50x15 BFG's on my old EG that made 214whp......
all motor

then ran 225x50x15 BFG's in my DC that had a 85mm LS turbo.....300whp on 10psi....

i knwo of many others who used the 225x50's makgin 350-400 Whp and have no problems

 

and how fast are you going at a 1\4 mile. Both time and speed.
And that about the rim size

 

never got a chance to time the hatch but i ran a high 11sec truck and i lost by half a car... so i say low 12's with that motor

the boosted set up was on ITR wheels and 12's on street tires.....
when i ran the BFG's i was on a stock clutch so i twas slipping.....

 

bump for answers

wat are the options for a 350 hp car with 16`s?

 

i put 225/50/15's on a stock si wheel
stock ls motor w/ 262 whp in an eg went 11.87@118 on bfgs
ls vtec stock block like around 320 whp 11.53@126.7

lasted all summer, around 12-13000 miles too! for bfg

i steped the size up to 235/60/15 this year

 

How wide is an si stock whell. It sounds like i should have bfg if they can be there.

 

i smashed my 235s on the same wheel


they are 6.5"

I thought all honda wheels were 6"

I am putting 235's on my 6.5" wheels so we will see.

 

235's fit a 6.5" wheels? what brand tires?

 

BF Goodrich G force T\A Drag Radial 235/60/15

 

i vouch for bfgs, i drive everyday on them and have about about 4 pairs. they hook great for radials too

 

year okay, i will go for the bfg.
How fast do you think i could go a 1\4 mile??
2200 pound. 375whp. 225-50-15 bfg

 

it all depends on traction. should hit 11's...

this all depends on driving style, and the powerband your setup makes,
11.50-14.7 i seen it all

 

What is powerband???

 

BFG's suck they are a street tire compound, period. Ask any of the RWD domestic boys, who have DOT slicks readily available for cars that can run 26"+ tires... BFG's are a joke tire to them.

I expressed an opinion here that you might find informative. You can poke around M&H's site and select something in a different size.

I've had okay luck with MT Sportsman I's... they are recommended for RWD only due to the floppy sidewall, but do credibly on FWD as long as you understand that they have straight line manners and do not corner at all.

power curve, power band how linear your hpvsrpm is,
if you make 250hp differance between 4500 to 5500 dont plan on hooking up with bfg's
