Default TRACTION!! Which Tires Are The BEST For The STREET

I ran about 300whp through my 1st gen 205mm azenis last year and traction sucked, anything above 5k in 1st-3rd was spinning. Even from a roll 3rd would sometimes still spin a good bit.
I was thinking of getting the newer azenis but dont know if they would even be much better. They dont last a hell of a long time but I dont drive the car more than 10k a year anyways

This will be for a daily driven summer Crx. Looking for anything to fit my 15X7 rotas and a 3" drop

How do you guys get traction?

Thanks

Drag radials are the only thing that is gonna work at that hp level.BFG or Nitto are about your only choice unless you want to stuff a 235 MT under there.

I agree. You can daily drive on DR's, but I've heard (from SkinnyE?) that driving in the rain is going to be a pretty slow commute. FastCRX DD his CRX on DRs, but with winter I don't think now though. My buddy cut 1.98 60' on BFGs so they're pretty good when matched with a good driver and other components (i.e., traction bars, solid/filled mounts, etc.)

Never heard anything good about Nitto N555's or whatever they are.

just roll a regular nice summer tire for the street and then have a pair of steelies with some bfg drag radials mounted on them when you want to go out on weekends and beat on the car. Leaving drag radials on the car full-time won't do you any good since they wear out faster than tough guy's -----.
