This is my 1st Corvette and I know nothing about the DOT Drag Radials,but have been Drag Racing for quite a while and have a good knowledge of Drag Slicks and which compound & which tire is best if anyone needs any help on them.

M/T STREET 2's
Is the Nitto NT05R 305/35/19 good enough on the street to make a 200 mile trip and if you happen to get caught in rain safe if you drive with caution? Is Nitto the only choice we have in a 19" wheel size or the best?I had rather ask a Dumb question than make a Dumb mistake.

so the 305/35/19 will fit is what your saying correct? what size front tire should I have to stay within the correct ratio, because I know that nitto 305/35/19 is a little taller than normal(27.44 in)

The Nitto NTO5 305/35-19 tire dia. is 27.44" & the M/T 305/35-19 tire dia. is 27.9" and the Goodyear 285/35-ZR19 tire dia. is 26.9" .Some how much would Nitto 1/2" and the M/T 1" effect the speedometer?I am leaning towards the Nitto because of their price.Is it worth the extra $$$ for the M/T?

so between the front tire diameter and the rear diameter I just have to stay between 1-1.5 inch difference? and that's what keeps the AH from messing up?
