Exactly, that's all I was trying to say I used to run 315's on my turbo vette and ran 275 DR's when I needed them...

Scott

Nitto555R best size would be 275/30/19 on 997GT2 rear rims which is 325/30/19...is it fine?

I heard that M/T is released for 19 but also i heard that M/T would not be good over 150

I know Keith is happy with toyo R888 on 19"

The 555R doesn't come in 19". Only 18" and 20". If you're running 19" wheels, I'd go with the R888's. If you are running 18's, I'd go with the 555R in either 305 or 335.

I had R888 and did not put all my power down unless it's AWD which you are not. Try Toyo Proxes TQ's http://toyotires.com/tire/pattern/proxes-tq I've tried these at 700+whp and 1000+whp on my 996tt. R888 is a good tire to run for the Tx Mile.

How are the Toyo Proxes TQ's in the rain? road noise?

Rain-good, road noise-none. The car actually rides very smooth compared to PS2's.
