I am pretty sure 225 is the width of the tire, not the height, so the only difference between the 2 sizes is surface area obviously the 225 has more area contacting the ground.... If you can fit them, get the 225. But if its only for track i would say slicks hands down. the best feeling when they hook up

not bfg.. MT's

 

The sidewall is 50 on both, so you'd end up with 50% of a 225 rather than 50% of a 205... makes for a taller tire.

 

we we

 

so 205 looks ok eh......

no, the 225 doesnt exactly mean the width.

the wider the tire goes it also gets taller.

a 225/50/15 is 0.8 inches taller than a 205/50/15

i heard of guys getting good 60 foots w/ slicks.
My room mate just got some 225's on a 4.4 f/d. Thats what you will want if you insist on buying them

 

225

 

The "50" in the 225-50-15 means the side wall of the tire is 50% of the width of the tire (225mm) . A 225-50-15 will always be taller than a 205-50-15.

 

they are no good,so dont buy them

real drivers no how to launch on drag radials 1.9 60s and dropping

 

225
I must say I used to switch between MT Slicks and the Radials. Slicks were def easier to launch on.
These tires get STICKY, I broke an axle using these tires and not slicks
