best tires for a 230 WHP street ej1
 

what is the best bang for the buck tires for a 2300 Lbs 93 civic with 238WHP/189Torque its going to be my daily so i need the tires to last at least 15,000 miles or so but i dont want to spin all the way trough 3rd gear lol My wheels are 15X6.5
-thanks guys

225/50/15 MT ET Streets

Isn't that a little wide for a 6.5" wide wheel??

Yes it is but wider=more traction and a 225 on a 6.5 is fine. I'm debating putting 235 or 245 on a 7''

What's yout budget?

I really don't have a budget for tires just trying to get the best bang for the buck,
how bout the nt555?

It will be fine, I got the pair at discount tire installed balanced and everything for 480 and they are sticky.

What does your suspension consist of? Hard to throw sizes out there with out knowing what you can actually fit. Especially if your are going for the "stanced" look. Just a thought.

Stock height, maybe an inch lower I'm going for the sleeper look, has ksports tho

How many miles are they rated to I just don't want to get tires every 5k miles lol

Bfg gforce 205/45

Get some falkens. Are you planning to holeshot from home to work?

dd or no?

Racecar

My dd is a racecar bro

Do you have LSD? Also, hows the alignment?

Boom!!!!

Best bang for the buck imo are Federal 595rsr.

Federal 595 rs-R I daily them in my 450whp civic best bang for buck under $100 each

If you are looking to hook and hook well, go with the Mickey Thompson ET Streets.

You probably would have to change tires every 5000 miles but if you want to hook well then that is what it takes.

Srsly ET streets are overkill for 230whp.

I'd go with the 555r or nt05r
They aren't as sticky as the bfg's or mt's but for that baby power they will do fine and last the life you want.

Yes LSD, cool thanks guys ill try the 595's first see how those do,

Make sure you get the rsr version 595 tho

my racecar is a dd

Anyone know who has the federal 595 rsr locally? In the Phoenix area

Pretty sure your going to have to order online.

Heck yeah I am totally serious, these suckers will plant the power to the ground and because he doesn't have much power they will last for 15k...

I spin thru every gear with the ET streets but they are better then BFG's and alot better then Falcons.

If I didn't care about looks on a car I would go with a M&H 235/60 which would put a smack down on the ET's but at that point might as well just put my slicks on instead LOL..

It's 230whp, he'll be lucky to spin some Nitto Neo Gens lol. Yeah if i was putting down your kind of power i would s definitely go with the MHs. Don't care if my car looks like a monster truck, atelast I'd be able to hook.
