Best run of the day, which was a 14.950@95.91mph had a 60' time of 2.475. Terrible. My reaction time was .401. Also terrible.

245-40-19 is larger than the stock size.(rear specifically) But at least the Falkens should be alot lighter than the rock RE050s. 255-35-19 is what I run (rear) and is a smiggen smaller than the oem size (which is where I'd much rather error)

They aren't any wider than my oem re050s. I think the older sport pilots in 255s actually run a touch thin for their size. Or the re050s run wider. I dunno.

Yea maybe. I like 245s on the front because it fills the wheel gap a bit..

On that track on that day? What's your altitude there? No expert here, but may have been just a poor density-altitude day. Could also be launch, shifting technique, several things.
