Since I do this only 2-4 times per year, what brand should I take? What´s about the Yokohama A032R? I will use my 15 inch stock rims. 205/50/15 is the minimum I´ll take to put my power to the ground. Is it a good idea to take a "not-bad" cheap-tire (CEAT, 1 peace for 62 USD) for DRAGing?

Thanks!

 

Ao32R's are race tires not drag radials. Look into some Nittos

 

the A032R's suck for dragging and launching. Hence the track style sidewall on the tire. Get 555's for dragging...

 

I would say nitto 555R i had them on like for 5 months now..still good..when needed to be heat up they will do the trick and give u the most possible traction..

 

You could try BGF new Comp T/A drag radial.. 205/50-15 = $118
or 225/50-15 = $122

 

F--k it, just get slicks, you will be happy with them, and this way you don't have to get really low tread wear tires.

 

How hard are slicks on our axles?

I never broke any, but Sgt went through them ..... of course he had over 30 more whp than me .....

 

I've never seen an axle break on street tires in a naturally aspirated Honda.
On slicks, it's a different story.

For tires, I was very impressed with the BFG Drag Radials. They didn't feel like slicks THAT much.. but they bite like em when you hit second gear real hard coming off a decent burnout.

For regular plain jane street tires, the Toyo Proxes T1-S are phenomenal.
As are the Dunlop SP9000. They are super sticky, and they are almost ALWAYS available, unlike some of the more favored Advans and Yokohamas.

 

I have a set of BFG drag radials that i am selling. Email me if you are interested. They are 205-50-15, i used them on my stock rims, worked great, consistant 2.1 second 60 foot times. Only used them at the drag strip one time (four pases) still like new! typer694@pdrpip.com
