Whats the stickiest tire available in a 345/30/19 ??

[Yellow Fever]

I've sent a few emails to BFG asking them when they plan on making a KD Drag radial in a 19 inch ..With no reply.
So it looks like i have 2 options..Either the Michelin Pilot Sports or Pirelli P-Zero's.

What tire will give me better traction ?

Thanks !

Go with the Ferrari Enzo (Bridgestone) tires. Same size you listed except 35 series. I'll be getting a set of these soon. There's so little sidewall on the 30's that it makes the tire feel slippery at launch on the drag strip. The 19's need a little more sidewall flex, IMO

I sent BFG an e-mail about that a few months back and got a reply saying they had no plans to make a drag radial in that size. I don't know anything about the Bridgestone, but a 345/35 is going to be awfully tall--the 345/30/19 is already over an inch taller than stock. A 345/35 must be 28" tall or close to it. And the 345/30 actually has a slightly wider sidewall than stock, btw. Bottom line, there is no really sticky tire in 19", which is why I'm almost certainly going back to 18" wheels soon.

Jeff,

Did you get your car back from Heffner?

Let some air out of the tires you have now! 50lbs is too much!

I don't mind the 'taller' sidewall, just have to lower the car to match the ride height. I think it will fill up the Vipers HUGE wheel opening better, but your right that leaving the 35's on w/o changing the car would look silly.

If all goes as planned I will have it delivered this month
