I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS TIME OUT TO TELL EVERY SINGLE E55 OWNER T GO OUT RIGHT NOW AND GET A SET OF BF GOODRICH G-FORCE DRAG RADIALS. WOW...... I JUST PUT THEM ON THIS AFTERNOON AND WAS TESTING THEM OUT TONIGHT. DO ABOUT A 10 SECOND BURNOUT. AND SEE WHAT IT FEEL LIKE AT MACH 3. NO TIRE CHIRP, STRAIGHT LAUNCH, NO SPINNING AT ALL. I WAS AMAZED. GET SIZE 275/35/18 IM AMAZED. I JUST HAD TO LET EVERYONE KNOW. ALSO TIRE RACK IS THE BEST PRICES IVE FOUND FOR THEM. (I SHOULD GET SOME % OFF FOR SAYING THAT LOL JK) SERIOSULY THOU THEY ARE NUTZ, I LOVE THEM....ILL BE AT THE TRACK WITH THEM TOMORROW...

Was thinkin about doing this to help my horrible 60ft times ( I'm a noob at the track). Some times would greatly be appreciated. I too was thinking about going 275's because they didn't have 265's I believe. Which track you going to? I was plannin on going to LACR tom with a couple buddies of mine. I won't be running because I don't have my stockies with me right now but I was going to see what my friend was running in his A6 2.7T 6spd. If you go what time you plannin on going? I would love to see your car and see it run down the track.

Sorry I can't give ya some hard facts. But I'm thinkin it shouldn't be a problem running 275's. And yes we need all the help we can with the traction department. 
I'm sure drags will solve it

Very true...because of this I decided to get 2 17 inch rims just for the rear and put the drags on there. I will keep the stock 18's up front and run like that. When I go home I swap back to the stock 18's and drive home happy (HOPEFULLY)

haven't done it yet. Jus thought of the idea. Was thinkin it would be a hassle drivin with drag's to the track and drivin them home only to swap the tires out again. Wouldn't want to be drivin on drag's as an everyday thing.

i toasted the radials for about 10 seconds. came up to the line and they were like glue i held down to 2k and when the light turned green i stomped down. no one single 10th of a second of spinning. it felt so good. between street tires and the radials. it cant even be compared. it is great.

I run 315/30/18 BFG drag radials on my Supra and from a 5mph roll I can put down 600-650rwhp in 1st gear at wide open throttle without ANY wheel spin. These tires are absolutely insane.
Couple things to be aware of:
Tires wear out extremely quickly... 1500-3000 miles
Tires are TERRIBLE in the rain - if not downright dangerous
Tires are extremely wide for their rating, my 315 tire measures around 13" from sidewall to sidewall.
But for a spare set of 18" rear wheels, slap these tires on, and hold on. The short times will be incredible. A 1.7 short time isn't even having these tires break a sweat. Get back out there, turn the ESP off, brake torque that baby as high as you can and let her rip.

I'll second (third, forth, etc.) this recommendation. I have the 265/40 DRs on my RENNtech S600, and I've run consistent 1.62 - 1.64 60's with them. That's pretty insane for a 4600lb sedan on such skinny tires.
