I am currently running 19x10 in the rear wrapped with Nitto NT555. I will be putting down 600 plus down in the near future. I want to know what are the best drag radials for 19s? I know there are not many, I have my eyes kinda set on the NT05.

The NT05R is a great tire!
Few choices in that size. If you intend to run on the street the Nitto's are your best bet due to the tread life.
The only other choice is Mickey Thompson.
Just to piggy back on this, nt05r -- what's the thread life on these and wet handling? I do ~5-6k a year and would like a DR that can corner safely and can drive in rain without my asshole puckering.
I think for NT05R, I emphasize the "R" only has 305/30/19 correct me if I am wrong.Quote:

HAHA, maybe in the further with a Liberty Walk wide body kitQuote:

How did they do under wet conditions? I read mixed reviews on them.Quote:

The nittos are good tires but they wont hook quite as well as the M/T's but they do handle a lot better in the rain and will last longer.
Toyo R888 has perfect sizing for 19s. Any thoughts on the Toyo?Quote:

you have to heat them up good to get good traction at the strip. Good burnouts! lol might want to look into a line-lock also if you're going to be serious about drag racing.
