Default Boost + Tires

What kind of rubber setup do you guys have on your boosted cars?

I'm still N/a with my b16 now running Falken Ziex 205/50s on 15'' Rota Grids.

This spring I'm going to be boosted...hopefully making at least 220 or so WHP. How am I supposed to keep the tires on the ground?

Do any of you run 215s on your 15s?

Brands to recommend considering price, treadlife, and grip?

195 60 14 Azenis [old style] on some generic aluminum wheels.Works alright but Im thinkin of trying some 225/50/15 Mickey Thompson drag radials after the built LS goes in.I have heard that they will wrok if your not lowered much and don't need full lock on the steering to turn.Is there a 215 drag radial?

I'm dropped 1.8 front and back on H&R sport springs and KYB AGX shocks.

225's will still fit?
