28x11.5 vs 26x11.5 Hoosier QTP’s? How much better are 28x11.5 vs 26x11.5 Hoosier QTP’s?
I am thinking of upgrading my 26x11.5 QTP’s with 4.11 to 28x11.5 QTP’s with 4.56.
How much do think this will help the 60’s?

I can`t speak for the 28" QTP`s but I went from 26x11.5-15 ET Streets w/3.23`s to 27x11.5-15 QTP`s w/4.11`s in an auto and I`m quite sure it`s where most of the 3 tenths I picked up this season came from.

My 60`s averaged around 1.62-1.68 last season to around 1.57`s this year. But I also changed to a 50/50 rear shock this year so that`s probably helping some. To be honest, the car should 60 better but I just haven`t found the "sweet spot" for launching yet.

That’s a good improvement!
I have found that I sixty better with the rear shocks tighter (HAL’s 12 way @ 6).
My 26x11.5 QTP’s seams to work good around 11.5 to 12psi.
Next time out I will tray loosing up the front shock.
The tracks in South Florida are horrible when it come to 60 foot’s.
What PSI. are you running your tire at?

To be honest, I never dropped them below 17 psi. My buddy told me that I was still spinning out of the whole so I might be able to eek a low 1.5x out of her with some better driving and 15 psi. I have all stock suspension up front so I can`t make any changes there.
