Default What size SLICKS? for 15x6" wheels

I have 15x6" Integra Type R wheels.

I wanted to know what size slicks would fit on a Civic EK with 15x6" wheels?


Also, what would be the advantages/disadvantages of the different size slicks?

What do you mean by "slicks"?

There are many kinds of competition tires:

- R compound track tires
- drag radials with tread patterns
- slicks (NO tread pattern at all)

Which, exactly, are you talking about?

And how do you plan to use these tires? Are they ONLY for the dragstrip, or ONLY for the racetrack, are they ONLY for street use, or are they for a combination?

For street use, you should be getting 195/55-15 or 205/50-15 tires.

the size strictly depends on the power your putting down and the times you are running.
