pretty sure the only thing aval for a 19" wheel is an R888. Not really a drag radial, but an Rcompound tire that is pretty sticky. I gave up my search for a 19" dr long ago!!

A freind of mine has a set of the new Nitto NT05R 345/30 R19's on his 2010 Grand Sport. He mounted them on Replica Grand Sport rims and the tires hook. He waited almost 3 months for them but was well worth the wait..

345 35 18 M/T D/R on a 13in rear rim. Works better than anything that has been on the rear. I also have had 4 diff sets of tires on the rear now.. Bad in the wet are rain. Only down side..

I believe MT debuted a 305/35/19 Drag Radial at SEMA 2010.
I too need a 19" DR and a lot of C6 guys are waiting for them.

I'm about to put nto5 dr 345 30 19x11.5 ccw 505a's here real soon. I picked up the nittos from discount tire on that auction site. Not sure how it is going to work out size wise. We shall see.

when I got my tires now I was not able to get ahold of the TOYO's - It is what I wanted to run and intended to run, it will be what I run next -

When you search the UTQG rating's and compare tires that are similar as well as similar sizes the Toyo's are an excellent choice for the street due to the compound and it really helps when you have higher HP at the rear wheels

Thanks,matt

MT makes the ET Streets in 305/35R19. May not fit your wheels though. I'm considering going with the MTs or R888s in the very near future.
Whichever way you go please post up your thoughts on a sticky tire in 19".
