225 is the only size they make that would fit stock sized rims. Why should he not put them on the evo, lots of ppl run these ties.

Yup that's exactly why.

Don't worry about it guys i've been told w/ high HP that they tend to wheel hop and i definetly want to stay away from that.

I'll look into smaller front brakes to fit a 15/16" wheel and a real drag tire MT, Hoosier, etc.

All of those are "R" compound tires designed for road racing or auto-cross except for the T/A drag radial. R compounds will not do well in a drag race application.

Shouldn't they do better than stock tires, since they are sticky?

For drag racing they wouldn't.

We want a taller side-wall w/ a good amount of flex to absorb the shock off the line.

No worries been searching and i spoke w/ John @ CCW and they said they can do some 16" wheels to fit some MT DR's, ET streets, or Hoosier QTP's so i don't have to swap brakes and put coilovers.

Thanks to "DOOMID" for posting about that in the past w/ the video

I just want to see some pics of them to see how they look up close......i pm'd him about that.
