I'm trying to decide what way I want to go and would like some imput. The car is a 02 RSX Type-S approx 300whp, right now I'm running 225/45/17 Continental ExtremeContact DW tires. I'm trying to decide if I should go with a wider, say 245/40/17 or if I should just step up to a drag radial as first gear is mostly useless above 50% throttle. I do drive it a decent amount but do plan on taking it to the track once a month or so. I do have an extra set of wheels and had thought about doing one set for track, one for road but I need more traction on the road.

On a side note, I'm working on getting an lsd just saving up for it.

 

We haven't had much luck with anything wider than the 225 fitting without a rub, so I couldn't guarantee a wider size would work. in 225/45R17 if you don't care about wet traction the Kumho ECSTA XS is great in dry (but very slick in wet). Also consider the BF Goodrich GForce Rival.........

 

Have you rolled the fenders/quarter panels? Are you running any negative camber?
