Default Would 275/60/15 tires slow me down?
This would be on an automatic car with 3.42's. I'd be going with ET Streets on a 15x8 drag wheel. I'm currently running Nitto drag radials on stock wheels. Thanks for the help.

Also, how would they fit (I'm not lowered)? Thanks.

I don't think it would slow you down at all. You should hook better if anything.

They probably will slow you down with that gear, for sure. Unless you're spraying like a 400 shot.

It's worth doing if you can't hook 26's. What do you run now? You can lose 1-2 mph and a tenth or two if you already hook good on 26's.

All depends on how much power your making with that tall of a tires and 3.42s, mine were perfect with 4.10 in a 400rwhp n/a A3 car. All depends on the setup, now that im back to an M6 I dont need the 28s unless on spray.
