granted any DR will be stickier based on the compound but more sidewalla would also help improve traction and my 60' times.

best was 1.950 on PSS's. would love to toss on DR's and hit 1.850 or 1.800

and if height is your worry, one time out of just pure need of tires for 2 weeks i ran 275/40/19 rears to get me by until my new ones came in. were fine as well.

I see what you're saying, but if you need a taller sidewall why not run a higher aspect ratio like you did with the 275s. I know it will change your final drive going with a larger diameter but that could be a good thing at launching. Once the car gets going it won't really matter that you have a slightly taller gearing. I saw quite a few 295/40R19s at a decent price...however idk if the compound would be suitable for what you need it to do.
