if you had a 28" tire with a 4.56 gear it would spin easier than say a 3.73 gear where you could launch at 6k rpm and prolly still hook the car. gear ratios multiply Torque that is why. somone correct me if i'm wrong.
I run hoosiers and they work the best on the street for my car. at the track with the M/T and the hoosier i did not see a differnce.

Every set-up can affect the components needed to make it work best in most (if not all) conditions. As mentioned, weight, gearing, suspension, power level, rear end, etc etc

I run a 28x11.5x15 with a 4.11 gear, the diameter of the tire is truely 27.6" which puts my gearing at around a 3.80. I run this in my M6 car on juicey juice at the track and get the times in my sig, thought about going to a 26" tall tire but was always afraid it would just spin it's *** off.

OK fellas, I just burned up my 26x11.5x15 Hooiser QTP`s. Im a bolt on, suspenion m6 camaro with a fab 9" 4.11 gears and spooled. Car has been on a minor diet. Runs consistent high 11`s. The car did descent short times with the et streets (bias) and best 60' was 1.59 with the hoosiers. Im looking for a little better 60' so heres my options.
1) try a 27x11.5 Hooiser qtp
2) 26x10x15 Et Drag
3) 26x10x15 (S) Et Drag
4) 28x9x15 Et drag
5) Will a 28x10.5 or 28x10 fit and run the times with my 4.11???
