Best tires for around 400rwhp

[turboeta]

I'm about to buy some new tires before I swap in the M50 turbo...I'm gonna still be using the stock weaves for now...so I'm thinking right around a 215...I would like to get decent traction but not go with a full out DR. Any suggestions?

with 400 HP and a 6.5" wheel you have no hope just get a nice sticky tire and hope you get traction by 3rd. :D

Yeah pretty much, maybe put some cinder blocks in the trunk:p

Maybe I'll try to find some 4x100 steelies...that are like 8"

What you're talking about is Diamond Racing Steelies. They are all over Vortex. they come in 15x8 et0 which is perfect for a racecar with a moderate drop and some nasty wide low profile tires.

Yes they have 4x100

Sorry, THIS is the wheel you're looking for.

I have 225 Hankook RS2s with only 330 whp with NO traction in 1st and 2nd. You won't find traction..

...cheap tires. You'll need a lot of 'em. ;- )

Changed my mind on this, and spent a little bit more money

Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials

I like where this is going. Pack an entire spare driveline, haha.

You might want to try some Toyo RA-1's in a 225/50r14 (I think that's the size they are, either that or a 45 series). Very sticky, and they have 8/32 of tread, so they won't wear out that fast.
