so instead of this being a thread about me asking you guys your opinion im instead turning it into a learning experience thread. the last month or so ive noticed a trend on here i asked some questions and rather then an answer i get a "what everyone else runs" im no rookie to building cars ive done a few but for example i had a thread up about using an xs dual stage with s300 couldnt get an answer only to ditch it and run what everyone does well that doesnt work for me. so i figured it out on my own and should anyone ever ask the same question i would happily explain how i did it not very hard. so anyways now on to the my above tire question i purchased them anyways and am going to give them one hell of a shot. There mounted up an i just finished a lite test run on the street and i was extremely pleased with the results. and being that its a 215 i dont have much issue with turning in fact if i shorten one intercooler pipe it would turn lock to lock but for normal left and right turns no rubbing and it works quite well. now i am going to run it at irwindale to get the 1/8th dialed in a bit and good or bad ill post the results up one thing i can say is this might be a little to tall of a tire for an ls tranny but on my b16 i used to not even really have a 1st gear now it seems pretty nice so if anyone is interested stay tuned for some slips and maybe a video if i can get a camera.

AND THANKS VERY MUCH TO JOHN@M&H FOR HIS INPUT

 

Speaking of people that cant read....


****ing search

 

Hey I searched all over and haven't found a single person using those m&h on a Honda there big in the Vw scene so maybe you should post something you searched before posting your completely useless comment

 

Maybe there not a popular size for a reason you might as well jus jump straight to 235s... https://honda-tech.com/forums/drag-racing-36/best-drag-radial-tire-size-around-550-600whp-2768286/

Well I was reading those threads but I got both tires brand new for 140 so I'm gonna try it maybe they'll work maybe they won't but atleast if someone ever asks about them ill be able to give an answer

 

for 400whp your going to want a 23" slick not a 22" IMO 24.5" is overkill on that power level. Unless its a drag radial then larger is required. BUT there is also the acception which is the cheaper drag radials slicks which is basicallya slick with a line down the middle in which case a larger diameter wouldnt be needed

 

well i already purchased these and i have done one test pass gotta raise the car a bit more to clear them but even at 10psi i can still move the tire very well i will post some 1/8th mile slips after irwindale on thursday nite and really see what these do

 

you got one hell of price, maybe its your ride height like you said but they do look snug..i was personally gonna run them on a 14" wheel.

 

Oh yea thats just a test fit I'm gonna raise it up forsure and it's snug but doesn't seem to have a turning issue maybe just rub the intercooler pipe. But I'll move that so far I'm very impressed and for the price I couldnt go wrong

 

NICE! What is the overall height of the tire? That might be a bit too tall for an LS trans. I just got my gsr trans back but I had my friend Chris change the final out to an LS so I could get more gear on the top end. I have had a spare LS in my car for a few months and hate it!

 

215/65/15 is a 26" tire. its its a drag radial it will give good tracktion that large but with LS trans the gears will be oh so long lol.

If its a drag slick goodbye trans
