Unless you drive on the MT limited amount i would not use them as a tire to drive around on. I have the R888 for close to 3 years and have hooked a high 1.6 with them look at the Video and you can see. The MT are a great tire and if i get a Dragpack thats what i would use but if you dont plan on taking them on and off do the R888. As far as the taller tire do the taller one. I finsh the 1/4 right on the limiter in 4th you may hear it in the video,i would have been right at 7100-7200 not at 7600. That's my 2cents

The total diameter of the 315/30/18 is 25.44 inches and the diameter of the 305/35/18 is 26.4 inches so there is 1 inche more not 0.5 what are your thoughts?

I dont think I would run that on the street for alot of miles with your stock size front tires,maybe if you had 245/40/18s in front for the diameter being closer then it would be OK..
I have run 285/35/18 ,25.9,and 235/40/18,25.4, for over 24,000 miles with no differental problems.I am going to 295/35/18 and 245/40 18 next.
But if it is just to drag race and you are going to let air pressure out for better traction which will lower your overall diameter then,,,,You should be OK...IMO..

It about the circumference .. Pi d. 3.14 x dia... There was a notisable difference in the feel of the car going from the 295/30/18 to the 315/30/18... Also the amount of energy required to accelerate the tire itself is to the square of The dia. I was surprised on how much difference there was in the feel for the half inch dia difference ..
