Well I just found out that the 20" Nitto drag radials won't work. They are too tall and rub. I've got my 19" 345-30-19 Nittos coming tomorrow. Lesson learned.
I just had the same result. Gonna just order the MT this week.

I guess I am a success story. I have Nitto Invo's on the front and MT ET SS Drag Radials on the rear. I do drag events, road course events, and AutoX. I will never go with another combo. I utilize my 2015 Z06 as a daily driver (weather dependent). I frequently drive 40+ miles 2-3 times a week and she is smoother than a baby's butt. I also run consistent 10.7's at the DragStrip and don't feel her getting squirrelly above 130+ mph. I have read so many other post where people have been disappointed but I may have just got a good set before or after all the issues. I now have approx. 5,000 miles on this set and still have several thousand to go. I am very impressed with the tread wear, durability, and comfort of these tires.

You have these tires? http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/d.../et-street-s-s Under 20", the widest size it shows is 305. Is it discontinued or something?

The stock size 335 25 20 MT ET SS DRAGS were discontinued several years ago. I just put on my third set about 2 weeks ago. You have to try and track down a set setting in someone’s warehouse somewhere. I can tell you this with all honestly though.. be careful reading reviews from people who say “ I knew a friend who had them”. That is not an honest review. I DD drive mine hundreds of miles a month, run AUTOX, run drag strip, go from NC to GA monthly, and surprisingly- drive in the rain occasionally. As always, common sense applies. All 3 sets are smooth, quiet, and hook in every pull. I do not wonder, wobble, or switch lanes unless I make that choice. I guess I got 3 lucky sets in a row... just my 2 cents on the MT 20’s

I'm sorry but...You run a drag radial while Auto-Crossing? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Also, I put a set of 335/25/20 Mickey ET Street S/S on stock Z06 wheels and took the car out on the highway, it was wobbly and weird but livable if they hooked, which they don't and no 20" will, and at 125 MPH, the car changed a lane. If you do a pull and let off, the car will DIVE one way or the other. Changing to a non run-flat front will help out a lot but it will not alleviate the problem.
The best option is a reproduction 19" and a 345/30/19 NT05R. Run that on C6 Z06s, ZR1s, and C7 Z06s with no issues. These perform well at most power levels, but if you're running north of your 750 RWHP, then you need to go with an 18" and a better tire by either Hoosier or Mickey. The ET Street SS has great performance and reviews for every size except the 335/20. They're junk, avoid them. Hundreds of forum posts about them don't lie. The Viper guys had the same experience.
