Posted this in "Wheels and Tires". Got a lot of views but no feedback. Decided to repost here. Appreciate any feedback.
Currently running 305/35/19 Nitto NT05Rs on the rear of my 2018 Roush Phase II Supercharged GT. While the Nittos are sticky, I've had some traction issues at lower speeds and higher rpms (mainly 1st - 2nd gear). Planning to go to a 19x11 rear rim and run 325/35/19s on the rear. This car is currently in the performance shop and will likely be coming back at 750+ rwhp. So improved traction is of importance. I am evaluating the following options. I have heard good feedback on the MT ET Street S/S. Curious to hear others input on the below rear tire options.
1. Mickey Thompson ET Street S/S
2. Toyo Proxes R888R (not advertised as a "drag radial", but heard this is a very good and sticky tire)
3. Nitto NT01 (not advertised as a "drag radial")
If there are other "sticky" drag radial options I should be considering, please let me know. My cars do not see rain, so no need to provide input on drag radials that can also handle wet conditions. So far, the 2018 GT has not been to the drag strip. Mostly hard / spirited driving. Hope to get it to the strip later this summer.
Thanks for the input.
