Default Drag Radial Question

I need a set of drag radials for the rear on my 05 GTO A4. I have 275/35R18 tires on 18x9.5 rims in the back, and im hoping to find some drag radials that will fit my rims. But if not a different set of rear wheels with some drags radials around 275 wide would be fine, but i cant find anything. I have my fenders rolled but that is as wide of tires that i can fit. I do see BFGoodrich makes there g-Force T/A Drag Radial, is this tire any good?

Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial II 265/40r18 will fit perfectly on a 9.5" wide wheel.

buddy of mine wrecked his f body with those BFGs, they only last like 6000 miles and TERRIBLE traction in the rain, he hydroplaned at 40mph and rolled it. My experience with Nittos are great but best traction on dry pavement is the Mickeys.
