Right, that's my concern as well.

I would definitely call your sales rep at Tire Rack and ask their opinion.

I will reach out to them for the sake of completeness. I was hoping to hear from someone here who tracked these tires in this size.
I've already decided to switch to a staggerd setup, with a 10" front and 11" rear wheel, with likely a 275/295 tire. As sticky as possible, but I need to be able to drive 120 miles (round trip) to my home track each time.
Any other tire recommendations? Hankook TD C30? R888R? - I've read mixed reviews on these.
In the past I've mainly used NT01's and Kumhos. I'd love to run the 305 NT01 but with a 35 profile, it isn't an easy fit.
