has anyone tried those color smoke tires and if so hows the grip on them kinda want to try a pair

 

You must be thinking of Kumho SPTs. I have a pair of the regular SPTs on my daily driver. They're fine for regular street use in summer, nothing remarkable.

Is this the honda civic forum

 

I was thinking Mustang forum..

 

meh not really its somthing diffrent i thought would be intesting to try

 

Honestly, I'd say 99% of FD owners 3 years ago would have never used them. Now, maybe it's 90%. Most of us look at our cars as Porsches or Ferraris. I still maintain you'll find much more information on the honda forum, a product like that is aimed more at the high school demographic.

My opinion, nothing personal

 

From the Kumho site: "Ecsta SPT Colored Smoke tires are for drifting and competition use only, and are not intended for public road use."

They probably won't handle the same as normal SPT's and are more expensive. There'd be no point to putting them on the front, so you could end up with some interesting handling characteristics.

My advice would be that if you want some, get a set, but get something else to drive on and put those on when you want to do a burnout or drift.

 

decided agenst them got the falken rt 615

 

why in gods name would you ever want colorful smoke tires

 

The traction level is average for an economy performance tire. The down side to the tire is that while your spinning your tires to get them to start smoking your also throwing melted colored rubber chunks all over your rear quarter panels. This is also why we only recommend them for track use and track cars.
