Well guess what... there's a brand new GT500 out here in my small town...

Update - so, after being 70 degrees yesterday it snowed 2 inches last night and is going to get up to 60 today, if not higher, so further testing is likely suspended (I also have a lot of work to catch up on). My place in NM got 8.5 inches - wish I was there instead of here.

Ruidoso/Cloudcroft?

You mounting those 305s on stock wheels? I've been debating stock size or 305s when my stock tires go on my Redeye. I'll likely get the MT S/S tires, since I really like the MT Rs for the track. I know people who say 305s aren't meant to go on a NB stock wheel (Wheel width to small), but will I die? lol.

Also blow the doors off that GT500! Wish there was one in my town I could play with. Maybe they are all hiding. Dammit, lol.

I have 275/40s on my regular body redeye, I have a hard time believing a 305/35 would not have a bigger foot print, even though it's technically too big for the 9.5 inch rim. I was forced to buy these at the tire shop(due to weird circumstance) and they have been fine for me, but my next set will be 305/35s and I'll be able to compare more.

Tire review posted in separate thread.

Looked for it in the wheel/tire section, where did you post it?

Thanks, just a couple thoughts - I wouldn’t keep them at 38psi very long, I keep mine at 31-32, and I do not really think they have degraded performance after 1k miles like someone replied there. I drive through the turns pretty hard at times and while they are not like a regular tire, I do ok. It’s worth it for the consistent bite and push forward! . Will be interested to hear your thoughts on them over time.

I have property out there, yes. But that's not where we got the 2" with back to back 60+ degree days.... West Texas in a nutshell.
