What sizes are you looking for? The R888R has pretty good straight line traction for a track tire, but if you're looking for the best quarter mile performance out of a "street" tire, then the Mickey Thompson ET Street S/S is your best bet for the 19-20" diameter options.

Thanks Cory. That's kind of what I was thinking too. The issue is pretty simple, I am running 285/30's on front and 305/30's on rear. If I go with the 305/35's on rear, then I have to go to a taller tire on front also.

I hate getting new tires when I probably have 2000 miles on my tires. . .so, ideally, I could have found a good 305/30 tire. . .but I think the best choice will be to swap all 285/35's and 305/35's (I haven't relocated my wiring harness, but it's no problem to get it done).
