    I'd run the 225/50's. There only .35 inches shorter than stock size. Plus, if you wanted to you could leave them on for the weekend while you drive around town. Just not in the wet.

    you could lower the pressure a lot more with a 55 series. Giving more grip at launch...

    all an opinion though.

    I just bought the 225's for my car. I'm picking them up tomorrow. (I ordered them from Tire Rack.com)

    They're the best.

    Hey Steve! I thought that you were going to run full slicks? But, i guess the drag radials are better for the weekend racer.

    I don't have the money for new axles right now and after hearing about NA cars snapping stock axles...I wasn't interested in adding a boosted car to that list. :)

    I will still be getting slicks later this year, but only after I can upgrade my axles and transimission. No point in trying to all of that power down to one wheel and snapping something.

    Know what I mean?

    I agree...that one chick that hits low 13's in the na, said she broke like 3 axles! With slicks of course

    I don't know. The only sizes i saw listed were 205/50 and 225/50.

    Steve- Your right. No sence putting the carriage in front of the horse.
