They are 305/35/19 mickey thompsons.

Food for thought, Nitto typically runs narrow for their size. You can obtain their 305/35/19 Nitto NT05R Drag Radial for $260/ea from Discount Tire Direct. They will fit a little better than Mickey Thompson's current offerings, as stated above, Nitto typically runs a little narrower. This tire is 27.2" tall, so it is a little bit shorter than the current 275/40/19 that comes on it standard.

Wouldn't it be better to put the DR's on a 17" or 18" wheel or are you wanting to run them every day on stock wheels?

For the track it would. But for dd and second gear kick down rolls on the stock wheels the 305 offerings are the best bet.

275/35/19 is fine the factory PP comes with 275/40/19 for the rears so I would rather use that all around since its a factory tire size.

But you can run either size if you desire the 275/35/19 would just be a little shorter in overall diameter means your speedo will be off less then 1% if my calculations is correct, not a big deal
