currently running nitto neogens 205 50 15 on the rota grinds same size as my stock 00 si rims . now my car is around 450 whp and i want to get some thing a lttle more aggresive.
im doing boost by gear so im not really to worried about it but just woundering what my options are ive searched and found some guys saying 235 will fit . i am sorry im lost when it comes to tires and do not want to bloww 700 bucks and be stuck with a wrong size. and i know this topic has came up alot. any help would be appreciated. thanks

 

i run mickey thompson 205s. they work ok still spin a little in 3rd and im just a touch over 400hp with a k20 turbo with a 6spd trans. but if youre looking for something that will really hook maybe try an m&h 235

 

so your saying 235's will fit my rim as well?

 

We have the BFG Drag Radials in 205/50R15.......You could try JEGS or Summit Racing for the MT's

 

205 50 15 i guess i will stick with .. rather be safe then sory

 

my mistake they call for 205 55 15.
im getting the BFG drag radials of ebay though its a bit cheaper and free shipping brand new i think my next step is a set of rims for the track only

 

is this your daily? or are you just looking for a pair of radials for the front?

205/50/15 is slightly smaller than stock (which is 195/55/15). there are not a lot of 205/55/15 tire choices so I wouldnt run those, plus they are bigger than stock size

if you are just looking for straight summer tires (no snow or freezing temps), then the dunlop star specs are super sticky and come in the factory size. then grab a set of slicks for the track. i dont see a huge benefit of drag radials versus other summer tires for the track and they wear quick on the street.

 

no this car is only driven in the summer and ive put maybe 10 thousand miles on her in the last 6 years its just a toy that sees summer road and a couple track visits.

star spec never herd of them im checking them out now. i just wish i could throw a thicker tire on like the before mentioned 235

 

in that case i would definitely just do a stock size summer tire for the street and let the boost by gear keep traction down low. then a pair of slicks for the track.

i have 225/50/15 bfg on my EG and I dont like the fitment and they wear quick. They dont hook 400whp in low gears anyways. Im sure a 235/60/15 MH bias ply would be totally different but it doesnt seem worth it to make it work on the street. They are 26" tall.

Just my opinion though
