NT-05's are not drag radials, or even similar to them. They have good traction but also stiff sidewalls. They are a handling tire and probably going to be too stiff to get a good launch at the track, especially if you are raising the rim size from 17 to 18. They are however fantastic wet/dry tires for the road and I'm sure you will be happy with them. And really you probably aren't going to see a difference between a 295 and 305 tire. I am sure a 295 series NT-05 is going to be a much better tire than a 305 Khumo Ecsta
