Default Running 205/50/R14 BFG Drag Radials

I already know how well these tires hook, but I couldn't find any info on people running the 14" size. I'm running a pretty much STOCK gsr hatch and am getting a good deal on these tires(right now I only have 14" del sol rims). What HP should I run this size BFG before I should upgrade to the 15"? In other words....does it hurt @ my power level to run the 14" as opposed to the 15"s? Thanx!!!

whether the tire is a 14" or 15" isnt much of a big deal...

by all means run those tires if youre getting a good deal on them...

if you get more power get 225 radials..they will be wider than a 205

Nitto 555Rs come in a 205/55/14, so running a BFG 205/50/14 will be in the 21" range, so depends on your combo where the smaller tire might hurt your potential speed.

I was running them last year, im at 550HP and it held up as good as the 15s.

I trapped 12.1 at 132 would have been faster but tranny trouble!!
