Default What tires should I get for 2017 Mustang GT?

I currently make around 510hp (Around 430 to the wheels) and I am planning on going up to around 670hp-750hp.

Right now I have 255/40r/19 front and back from factory.

I have three options I'm looking at and I'm wondering which ones will give me the best traction for drag races. Also let me know if 305 is too wide for 510hp-750hp (because my 255s right now spin in all the way up to 3rd in 1/4 mile).

Michelin Pilot Super Sport 305/30/19 (102y)

Michelin Pilot Super Sport 305/35/19 (102y)

Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 305/30/19 (102y)

Any suggestions on which one I should get? By the way I have 19x11 rims on the way so that's not an issue. I'm really looking into getting as wide as possible because right now I run a 13.3 113mph 1/4 mile lol. Thanks!

Why not go a 315 or a 325? 315 was stock on a GT350R and 325's fit as well.

And if your main thing is drag racing, maybe look at drag radials, as the pilots are more of a road course/street tire.
