Are you asking about a tire for drag racing? If so the R888 is for road racing not drag racing. It will make a terrible drag racing tire as the sidewall is too stiff and the rubber won't heat up quick enough.
I don't think anyone makes a 19" drag radial tire. You might want to buy some rear 18" since there are lots of drag radials in 18"

I'm mainly looking to use it for street and maybe a few passes at the track.

Bump. Can someone please help me size out those tires for my rims.

I believe the stock RE05 specs are 275/35/19 so get something as close to that as you can.

jezeka777 · 08-17-2012, 10:05 AM

What's the range I can use with out going out of spec?

Mickey Thompson street drag radials has a size in 19" that will fit the stock sport rim

I'm also looking for everyday tires that are very stick and grip hard. Any thought?
