Default Drag Radials

Is anybody using the MT 305x35x19 drag radials on stock rims? If so:
Do you like them?
What size and type tire are you using on the front?

Thanks

I am. Love them so far. I've got around 400 miles on them, and 8 or 10 launches. They hook.

Still on stock runflats in front.

So here is my question about them. How do they comparing to a 18" drag radial ? Basically would it make more since to widen a set of stock fronts to 11 inches or just get these and be done with it?

The smaller rim diameter and larger sidewall you have the better it will hook! The reverse is true as far as handling goes however. Its a trade off.
