Default Question about tires

I have a 02 RSX that I'm having a little trouble with it hooking up on the street/track. I'm running a 225/45/17 and was wondering what kind of tires you guys might reccomend. I have an extra set of rims I had considered putting a set of drag radials on for the track Just looking for suggestions. Thanks.

for that amount of horsepower in the size you have mention try some 225 45 17 falken azenis as the seem to work decently for the street, not the best though! otherwise the 235 40 17 toyo r888 are very promising for both street and drag use, if all out only drag use then no doubt full slick m/h.

Right now it has Continental ExtremeContact DW's and they are pretty good tires. I'll look up those others, I don't really want a full slick bc I'm going to be driving it to the track and on the weekends.
