lol, this is the dumbest thing i have read all day, low profile tires for higher hp traction? are you kidding? the less sidewall you have, the less tire flex you get, making the tire very stiff, and very prone to spin. think about it, ever notice how much extra rubber Nitto DR's have sticking out the side. its so the tire can flex, and grab traction, instead of spining an almost solid peice of rubber. also, civics with their lower tq, have more trouble spinning a bigger rolling mass such as 19's

Traction comes more from tire width, not rim height and smaller sidewall.

wonder why its a 4door- in honda tuning when they dropped the k20 in a civic it was a 4 door also...
I wonder why? anyone know?
i like 2 doors better and it seems like they would be better for swaps
