Well i need to pick which im gonna use and where im gonna get them... any ideas? Its tough to find them in 205/55/14 or 15s... i bet theyll be cost effective tho, stock tires wont hold when boosted

go with the goodrich's...they will probly be cheaper and just as good, and i know what you mean...you cant run street tires when boosted unless you jsut want to make a lot of smoke :lol:

i would say less than 7500. I just put mine on and the guy I know with an 11sec street CRX has 3500 on his. They still hook b.c of the compound.

Ya-the falkens are really good-but the Bfgoodrich's are the best!! I have used both drag radials and the nitto 555r suck!! The BFGs last longer too. There are two BFG drag radials. The comp T/a and the G force T/a. The G-force is the best but more expensive. The comp are plenty to get your front end hooked!!
