Get to HT for DR recommendations, in the Drag Racing forum, ask for what hooks best at the track. The $bling$ niggr0xes will steer you right.

The newer Gforce T/A street tires are pretty nice. No idea about their drag radials.

We put a set of Mickey Thompson drag radials on my friends Nova and they are just awesome.Ten fold better than BFG but the smallest I believe they come in is 235 so you will need adjustable coils or a non lowered car.

What's a good street tire for 14inch steelies? Would it be beneficial to just buy 225 super wide tires?

There are still a handful of the original Falken Azenis floating around. $40-48/per tire, they have an H-speed rating due to having sidewall >55, but it is the same R rated compound used on the larger tire sizes.

those shatterd the 1.0 g barrier!!!! and leading tuners and racers push them to the limit!

remember, the more brests in the add. The better traction you get.
I hit 1.03g in my hatch with geforce sports 205/50/15

i used nitto 555's at the track and i really did not like them, I would op for the BFG's as i have seen 1.8 60ft on them.. i couldnt get under 1.98 (best) on the 555's.

No joke? Only $50 max for those? I was going to sell my rims for an even more sleeper look. Do you have a link otherwise I'll search on tirerack.com. Any particular size or should I rock the 225/60/14?
