Default 275/60/15 w/ 3.42

How bad will a 275/60/15 hurt me with 3.42's?

The difference between a 28" tire where you had a 26" tire is 7.69%. It would be the equivalent of running 3.15's.



Unless I'm wrong.

Stock motor??? Power adder???

On a stock motor with 3.42's a 28" tall tire will actually make your car slower. I would stick with a 26" tall tire or go with some steeper gears.

Pretty much a stock motor, but I've got it down to about 3060lbs. I was thinking maybe some 4.10's.

Even with 4.10's, as long as you are not FI, I think the 26's would be just fine. I would go with a 275/50R15. I ran those on stock gear spraying a 150 shot and never came close to maxing out 4th in the quarter.

4.10's, NA, and 26's would be a good combo.
