i have a stock gsr swap in my eg and im having a lot of trouble with traction like any other honda at the strip on street tires

so i decided i need to get tires for the track

should i get 15 inch slicks so i dont have to raise my car when i race with 13 inch slicks and i already have 15 inch wheels i can put them on

or should i get drag radials so i can drive down to the track with them on and not have to set my car up down there

i also hear drag radials last longer

what do u think?
15 inch slicks
15 inch drag radials?

 

yeah dont forget about some good axles. i have some slicks on my ef and went through 4 pairs of axles before i upgraded

 

Slicks are overboard unless you plan on making a career out of it. The real problem with launching is the FWD setup. If you can minimize weight transfer to the rear you won't need super sticky tires.

 

If this is a stock GSR, you shouldn't need anything more than a set of decent drag radials. Also, if you were to run slicks, a set of axles isn't necessary if you learn to preload. I've run several passes on M&H Slicks at 315whp on stock axles with no problems. My new setup should be well over 400whp and i'm still rocking AutoZone Axles...

 

im eventually gonna boost on stock but for now i just have a bone stock gsr swap.

any recomendations to what drag radials i should get? im tucking up front and im on springs so id rather have something that can fit well without having to raise it even tho that shouldnt be a problem with radials

 

drag radials...

 

grab a set of bf goodrich 205's i got mine form tire rack for like 115 a piece or sumthin... i would say get 225's but im not sure if they fit...

 

get some liftetime warrantee autozone axles if your running slicks, but there is no need to with a stock gsr. get some decent azenis or proxys on there and a stiff suspension setup in the front and rear then you should be fine

 

Get some Falken Azenis

 

drag radials are actually harder on axles than slicks. there is a misconception about slicks beeing to sticky. slicks actually have more give and flex in the sidewall and help when launching. if you preload your car at the staging light, you wont ever break axles with either tires. i am putting 330hp to thw wheels on slicks and never broke a axle, running high 11's

 

get slicks, you won't regret.

 

When i got my Drag Radials, i got a set of BF Goodrich KDW TA's in a 225/50/15. If you can't figure out which ones those are, i can post some pics for reference...
