Understood, but they will work on a 19x11.5, especially given that the 295/35/18 is known to work well on an 18x12.
I raced against Strano in his Mach 1 a month ago. He took off his RE-71's and showed up on fresh 315 Yoks instead. There was a $1500 winners check on the line. I doubt he would have done that had he thought the RE's were faster. I'd like to see your data though. I'll likely pick up a set of RE's for next year simply because of the cost.
