I assume you're going to be open tracking the car and driving it on the street, right? So why two different tires?

 

[asmallsol]

buy a set of azenis for all around, then when you go to the strip, put some 13x12 or what ever the normal slick size is.

 

[posol]

i really want to run a 225 up front... but the 225/50 tire selction blows unless i want to go full comp.
215/50's practically don't exist, neither do 215/45's in a 15....

i dunno... we'll see.

as for looks, i don't give a shit. you try hooking up 3x the poweryour making on the same size tire.... then youc an understand

 

[micah]

yeah thats one reason i dont wanna go down to 15's, not the best tire selection

awesome rims though

Actually, I can't... I could put down over 1000 HP and still not have traction problems.

 

[Prowler]

what happened to the enkeis or whatever those spendy wheels you had were called?

[micah]
