The taller tire will give the car a larger patch of rubber on the ground, plus it will have more sidewall, which helps lessen the shock to the surface of the tire. Bob

Using the Calculator.....

http://www.f-body.org/gears/

26" tall tire + 3.73 + 6,000rpm redline = 124mph Max in a 1 to 1 ratio

28" tall tire + 4.10 + 6,000rpm redline = 122mph Max in a 1 to 1 ratio

28" tall tire + 4.30 + 6,000rpm redline = 116mph Max in a 1 to 1 ratio
