hey chris how about a 225/16 or 17 for a FWD high hp integra, but looking for more of straight line performance on a street tire.

BFG makes a DR in 225/45R17. Not much luck to be had in 16 inch.

The BEST thing you could go with for road racing is the Kumho V710. The Hoosier R3S04s do really well, too. These are competition tires. If you're looking for something you can drive on the street as well, Kuhmo MXs or BFG KDs will still stick decent, but give SOME treadlife.

No. The sidewalls are too stiff.
