I have a bit of a problem with traction on street tires.

I am thinking of going with a BFG 225 comp t/a drag radials on my 17" 5 zigens for the street. Do you think these will hold much better than my kumho mx 255's? also i might strech them on my 17x9's. would this be good for a stiffer side wall being its mainly for street, or should i use it on an 8" rim?

Also would it be worth it to put my softer springs on my coilovers to let the car squat a little more? currently on 9kg/7kg f/r setup also have 5kg and 3.5 kg springs

Honestly keep the Kumhos and just get a set of ET Streets on some Z32 turbo rears.
