In the post Rio Lobo listed above, I listed all of the brands with compatible (And alternate sizes I could find).

If you find any others, let us know.

Just make sure and look up the Trofeo "RS" versions used on the DH HP.

The "R" versions are the earlier ones and are really for track use only and not suitable for street use.

Check this video the tires on the dark might not be best quality for drifting

You're probably not going to find much on the Trofeo RS tires as only two cars currently use them, the Dark Horse, and he Pagani Utopia. That being said they're basically an upgraded trofeo R which per pirelli

"Pirelli says that the new tire offers improved performance in dry conditions and can maintain performance over a longer period of time. The company notes that it also focused on improving the safety of the tire in wet conditions, something that’s particularly important given that it will be sold as original equipment on supercar and hypercar models."

So I imagine it's just going to be trofeo R with better wet weather usability.

Wow… I’d take those damn tires off instantly.
Maybe a bad batch of rubber.

So your opinion who has the best rubber for the DH if not Pirelli’s?

Yeah, the Trofeos are designed more for increased traction in agressive handling.

For drifting, I would imagine a really sticky tire is less than desirable, LOL!!

So the tires on the Ecoboost PP, or GT PP (Includes Drift Brake) would likely be much better suited for drifting.

Better yet, install a wheel/tire set just for drifting.

NO worries, I ain’t going tire shredding on drifting! I probably will switch to some better tires down the road!

If you're just driving around, with the occasional track day thrown in here and there, you probably cannot find a better tire than the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, the Continental Extreme Contact Sport, or the Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3.
I personally use the Michelin and love them.
I've also tried Pirelli P zero and Dunlop Sport Maxx in the 305/30/19 size but the other 3 above are better.

The Pirelli Trofeo RS that come with the Dark Horse are probably excellent, but they are designed for dry track performance while remaining legal to drive on the road. Such tires typically have a very short lifespan (100 treadwear). Many owners of similar Mustangs from the previous generation (like the Mach 1) removed the OE super sticky tires on day one to replace with something that is more durable and performs better in the rain.
Most of the delta in performance between the Dark Horse and regular GT comes from the Trofeo RS tire. But If you don't need more than 1G cornering ability and you dislike aquaplaning, you could sell the Trofeo RS to a track rat while they're still new and get yourself some Michelins and enjoy them every day for 30k miles.
