295/50/16 Mickey Thompson too much for low 13`s

Is this overkill for a low 13`s car and is a 255/50/16 enough?Our local track
only preps the line for major events.Street car night they could care less.

I think the smaller ones will be better, I cut 1.506 on those 255/50-16 mt et streets. I see it making you faster....Lighter tire, shorter for better gearing, maybe 12.999's......?

Good luck and post results
