how much growth?

last year i was running on mt e/t streets 26 11.5 16 . going through the traps at about 133 i was maxing out 4th about at the traps. this year im rolling on mt e/t 28 12.5 16s. plus im in the process of chosing a gear for my new 9". i am trying to do the calculations to decide between a 4.10 and 4.33. my tires measure exactly 28" sitting still. any idea how tall they will be at the other end of the track?

3/4 of an inch tire growth.

Depending on air pressure and mph through the traps I would say 3/4s to an inch as well.

thanks guys. looks like a 4.10 is the way to go then, rather than 4.33. they need something inbetween i dont want to pay for custom cut.
