I am tempted to install the hondata traction control system something about hammering the s in rain and it just pop and hiss till it grips without having to pedal the car is interesting but for the money I could have a bad ass adjustable front sway bar if I was turbo it might be more enticing but that is why I choose supercharging over turbo so I could have a fast and fun car that doesn't try to kill me on every apex.

Yep, like I said, providing its dry. No issue at all with traction
Yes but you are turbocharged? Completely different powerband to an S/C. Your torque comes on at 3-4krpm wheras S/c is more like 6-7krpm.

I run standard sizes 215/245 Yoko AD08R's and like that you can spin first and are on the limit in second gear.
For me the S isn't about 60fts or first gear pulls. It's about driving on the limit. Having the car move around abit does it for me!

It does help save the trans and diff as well. However in the grand scheme of things, if you are building the ultimate canyon carver/road course machine, more rubber on the ground improves lateral adhesion and stability helping to plant an otherwise nervous handling car, this is more evident at 60mph+. Having 400whp and stock size tires no mater how good the compound is has limitations, just form a sure footprint. Wider tires also run cooler, which can be good if your driving the car hard, not as good if your putting around on the street.

n I am currently running 18 x 265. I will go 2.75 or 285 next time.after tire wears out.

255's didn't save my comptech diff with J's racing pinion collar. It let go a few days ago ring gear failure. So I have a puddymod stage 4 with 3.63 gears and a carbotec LSD that will be going in once I get it back from Ben.
