What radial should i get.........

[civicex_1134]

As title says, which of these should i run? I have it narrowed to these 2 for the simple fact that theyre cheap, and i have wheels for them to go on.

205/55/R14...... Nitto 555R drag radial http://www.nittotire.com/index.html#ind ... 2Eoverview (http://www.nittotire.com/index.html#index%2Etire%2Ent555r%2Eoverview)

225/50/R15...... BFGoodrich G-Force Drag Raidal http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/tire-sel ... re-details (http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/tire-selector/category/tuner/g-force-t-a-drag-radial/tire-details)

opinions............?

[slow ride]

bfg's will hook better, but nittos will drive more "normal" with full pressure, last longer and drive better in the rain at full tread depth.

Both my buddy's have radials. I'm not sure of their shape but they didnt help at all and they went with slicks, but they're also running deeper into the 11's.

If you want I can try to get more info on them and some pics unless you're wanting to buy brand new.

[civicex_1134]

Just gonna do brand new. But some more info wouldnt hurt........

[Clinical]

One of them has the nitto's, the other has the gforces. Best both of them ran on their radials were in the 12's. I think the nittos are pretty cooked, but I believe the gforces are still in good shape as he rarely ever beats on his car and tracked it only 1 or 2 times. I'll ask him next time i see him.

Just get a set of et streets or the nt05r and skip the bullshit

[Batwood]

I had the 555rs for a "season" and a half... they are bald as shit. Actually hooked up worse at the end of this year than my old Fuzion HRi's did.

Either one should feel awesome on your car though.
It was a night and day difference going from brand new Potenza Grid's to brand new 555r's.
(Now that they are down to the wear bars, and the car is running good.... they suck! lol)

[boostedsohc]

I'm mamamia's buddy that has some. I have bfg's in perfect shape. Only a few track passes on them. Also have a set of nitto 555's.
There not big enough for my setup anymore lmk if you would wanna buy a set. Both are 14's

the nittos have about 40% tread left. but honestly they suck haha. i loved the bfg the one time i took them to the track with my first turbo setup which was 173whp.
took them once with my 300whp setup and nothing but tire spin. they may have a total of maybe 7 passes on them. 3 passes on the 300whp setup rest on the smaller setup

another friend of mine has some bfg's that are slicks now that he drove one for ever and tons of track days.

this are what mine look like right now
bfg's

[boostedsohc]

my trap on the 11.9 was 117mph and 1.9 60
best 60 was a 1.7 very first pass ever on slicks and lsd. the rest of the night i had problems with bogging issues. the only great 60 it hit boost cut in 4th gear and ran 12.1 at 110mph
only been to the track that time with slicks

[civicex_1134]

Yeah i can vouch for John's radials or basically anything he'd sell you off his car.
