Default what tires do you run? what are track proven best?

I have 17s on my turbo teg for the streets and i have to get some new front tires.

I had perelii p7000 and they were ok. i am looking for some drag radials but i am not sure if they make them in 17s for hondas. well hopefully they were wrong.

I would apreciate all recomendations to the best possable hook-up.

will bfg drag radials fit any rota slipstreams? if not, any other recommended, reasonably cheap, wheels that would fit those tires?

17's gotta go. best bang for buck tire is definitly azenis, im picking myself up a set this week.

best drag radials are BFG's, i did 2.0's first try and ive seen people doing 1.9's on them.

60 ft's in the 1.90's are a breeze with the 15" bfg drag radials.

I've ran Nitto 555R's on and at the track. Do the BFG drag radial's perform the same or batter on the street and on the track?

Make sure you note that most people run the BFG G-Force, I've got the BFG Comp T/A's myself, I'll let you know how they do!
