there is a 27x10.5 so it wont kill your gearing as bad. what do you trap at through the 1/4 mile?

unless u plan on trapping over 125mph in the 1/4 go with the 26 x 11.5. they are about 26.5" overall. u will have more than enough rpm to pull u through with the ms3. i run a 26" et drag with plenty of room to spare up top but my best trap too date is 115.

just did the math-u can run 127 mph on that tire at 6800 rpm.

if u want to do the math on it yourself just use this formula..
(tire hieght x rpm) divided by (gear ratio x 1 x 346)= mph

26 is fine. You will have a lot of room to grow. I traped 121 with them before moving up to a 28. Th 28 will hurt more at this point than help. It will be too much tire.

Besides, they don't last forever anyway.
