28" x 10.5" x 15" ET Drag.....use 15" x 8" Welds or 15" x 10"? What would be the pros and cons of using these two different widths? I used this tire on an 8"-wide wheel last weekend and it hooked fairly well. Please give input! Thanks.

Re: 28" x 10.5" x 15" ET Drag.....use 15" x 8" Welds or 15" x 10" well considering your contact patch could be a full 10" or just 8" with an 8" wide wheel....i think it is an easy decision. esp knowing your style, you want to go all out. go with the 15x10"

How about going with the mt et drag 28 by 9s and the 8" rim. Probably be enough grip with stock motor with less weight and rolling resistance.

I had 28x9x15 ET Drags on 15x8 and they worked great.

Re: 28" x 10.5" x 15" ET Drag.....use 15" x 8" Welds or 15" x 10" The 28" x 9" x 15" ET Drags aren't tall enough to let me finish the ¼-mile in 4th gear, I don't think.

Re: 28" x 10.5" x 15" ET Drag.....use 15" x 8" Welds or 15" x 10" Is there anything required to fit these tires on a stock suspension car. I just scored a free set of new 28" ET Drags. I plan on using the 15X10 prostars.
