Default Any sticky tires for 19'' by 10's available? stock vette

Does anyone know of any real good "drag radial" type tires for a 19 inch by 10 inch rim (stock rims on an 09 vette) that i can actually get to hook at the track....I really dont feel like buying another set of rims right now and i know the nt-05's are good but they only make the 19'' 345 that will only work on a 19 by 12 rim....I have nitto invos on the back right now but there is noway they will handle my power at the track...I really wannna take this car to the track and need something in the 19'' 305 range that will hook...Any suggestions please chime in...thanks

Back when I had the 19x10 rims all the way around, I asked the same question. I even checked out some of the 'vette forums. It seems a lot of guys are actually running road race tires as drag radials since there's not a lot available right now in sizes to fit 19x10 rims.

Yeah but the question is will they even begin to hook...Theres nothing worse than buying a set of tires thinking they might stick and you wasted 500 dollars on tires...I think my best bet is just spend 4or500 bucks on a set of 18 or 17 inch c5 z06 rims and get some nt-05r's and be fully prepared...Thats just retarted they only made a 345 and no 295 0r 305!!!
