Default Drag Radial question

OK...I searched however I didn't find the answer I was looking for. What size are people running on their 05+ mustangs? I went to the track yesterday and I am super disapointed with my track times. I could not get out of the hole to save my life. Best 60 foot I could muster was 2.02. I had to baby 2nd gear or I would go up in smoke. The stock Perelli's are not a good track tire! 1/4 mile was a disapointing 13.70 at 105 mph.

Anyway, looking for opinions on tire/wheel combo for my car. Any tech input would be appreciated.

I think you could get the very least a 275 on there with no rubbing, maybe wider.
