Hey whats going on guys. I am almost finished with my setup and I have a few questions relatin to Mickey T ETs. I am looking to put down about 400 hp with my setup. I am trying to decide on whats the smallest Mickey Thompson 15 inch tire I can get? Also will I have to do anything to my fenders to make them fit?

I also would like to know if running those radials with stock GSR transmission will I break anything? If So do you guys recommend the BFG drag radials over the Nitto 555R?

Thanks for the replies

 

u should invest in a LSD. OBX makes a nice on had several friends run them with no issues at all.

 

the smallest one they make is 205/50/15 which is pretty much stock size on integras. they also make a 225/50/15 that should work with no modification (might need to raise the car a bit)

its highly unlikely that you would ever break anything during normal street driving. even on the track i dont think you are going to have any problems with a DOT radial. MT, BFG, Nitto, they are are the same idea

 

I would not recommend using a low profile tire in drag racing..if you're concerned with tire height, get a 13in wheel and fit the same tire diameter similar to your proposed 15s.the added tire wall would absorb shock load during hard launches helping your transmission live longer.

 

Not to mention, a better launch!

 

I think he is asking about tires for the street on an integra. Not many aftermarket 13" wheels. And if there were, they may not clear his brakes.

 

you are very correct with this statement, but small wheels and tall sidewalls will get scary on the street... best to use a radial.

 

Im sorry I havent been on here since I posted this but..... The chassis will be a 94 Civic Hatch. And I think I made my tire choice and I am going with M&H racemaster street and strip radial. But is an LSD A must have necessity?

 

stock diff is the weak link in the tranny.

usually, when the spiders let go, shrapnel busts the case. seen it happen a lot of times.


so if u want to go tranny shopping, cheap out on the LSD.

if you want something that will take a lot of abuse, save up and get an LSD.

mfactory makes a really nice LSD. Quaife is good too.

 

Get a Quaiffe and forget about it.

 

if i didnt already have my quaife i would consider an Mfactory, ive heard great things and for the price you cant really beat it.

I only make 320 right now and I wish I had more grip. Might check out some MT's now.

 

I just got some 225/50r15 hoosier DOT drag radials and they are NASTY on the street (until it rains). Right now I should be in the neighborhood of 300-315whp and I can roll into 1st and keep traction, hard shift into second, and not break traction.
