Are you using these just for the dragstrip only, or do you plan to use them on the street?

If you're looking for tires to use on the street, then get a set of four Falken Azenis RT-615 in 205/50-15 and call it a day. It's the stickiest tire you can get that is designed for street use. No rubbing. They should last around 10K miles on an Integra (vs 3-5K with drag radials). Perfect for 15x7 wheels on an Integra. $78/tire at Vulcan Tire or Edge Racing.

it's for a daily driver

i decided on going with 225/50R15 in the front..the BFG drag radials

and in the rear..i'm going with 205/50WR15...the BFG kdw t/a 2's

i know i will have to replace the drag radials alot...but from i heard its the next best thing compared to slicks....i will roll the fenders...i'm not lowering the car too much...hope the fronts don't rub too bad

With drag radials on the front, and budget performance tires on the rear, your car is going to oversteer big time. Don't be surprised if you find yourself going around a turn and the back end comes around on you.

BTW, the KDW2 is really overpriced. Heck, for the price of a pair of KDW2's, you can get four of the Dunlop Direzza DZ101 in 205/50-15 from Edge Racing ($45/tire there, vs $58/tire at the Tire Rack). They're just as good and less than half the price. You can also get the similar Yokohama ES100 or Kumho SPT for a lot less than the cost of the KDW2. All these tires offer very very similar performance. No need to spend more than you have to for the same performance...
