i have nitto neogens on the car and it drags second gear just spinning, depends on how i shift it may spin 3rd, i tire of loosing races because i cant hook, what tires would you guys recommend?

 

which tires??

 

dunlop direzza star specs , hankook RS3's, Kumho XS, or hell i think its a nitto Nt05 i think

if its an integra try a 215 or 225 in the front for grip and maybe a good suspension + alignment if you already dont have those done.

do you have hondata? have you looked into boost by gear? that is what i have on my gsr and it gives pretty civil grip.

just my two cents.

 

the nitto Nt01's are pretty good too.

 

Mickey Thompson drag radial

 

ook, i heard of the nt 01s , i might try those... and no the car is still stock height..i knoo i need suspension lol

 

are the Mickey Thompson drag radial better than the nitto nt 101?

 

MT 205/50/15

 

nt01 is a r comp designed for road racing not drag. I can hook 450whp on 205 azenis using right foot traction control.

 

For drag racing yes the mickey Thompson are one of the best choices

 

If you want to hook the power on the street I would go with a 225-50-15 (if you run 15's) mickey thompson et steeet. Radial. When you get into the 500whp mark you will need to start lookin into a dot bias ply.

 

225-50-15 MT ET Street and a 15x8 wheel if you can fit it.

 

No way man. You gotta use boost by gear, you're supposed to mash the right pedal all the way through the floor!

 

Thanks guys, I will try the MT drag radials.

 

MT Drag radials for 370 whp???? I am using Falken Azenis RT-615's up front and barely ever have traction issues, but I do have traction bars and adjustable shocks Also my big *** turbo helps me get traction in 1st and 2nd haha

 

with 400whp mt 225 50 15 ftw

 

BOOST BY GEAR !!! No street tire is going to hold that kind of power in second gear unless you run a drag radial oversized that equals out to be about a 26" tire.

Im making over 400whp in my gsrand im running Falken ZE912 performance all season tires and they hook in every gear.

 

Yea boost by gear is an essential, though sometimes a car will make enough power right off the gate that really warrants a bigger tire. I make 390 whp on my lowest boost and my 225/50/15 bfg radials do a pretty good job of it.also from experience I found that slightly reducing the preload on the rear suspension helps keep some traction. See if you can pick up some rt615s or the mt radials in a 225/50/15 you should be ok

 

Boost by Gear x2

 

Toyo R888 or Toyo RA1

 

i had a 225 50 mt now going with racemasters
