A 26x10x15 would work fine, but may look just a little "stretched" on a 10" wide wheel. Mickey Thompson doesn't list any wider 26" tall tire than the 10.0" ET Drag. You may want to go with an 8" wheel instead.

I run 28x10.5x15's (on 15x10 wheels), I think Tom runs a 28" tire, and Colonel runs a 29" tall tire...

I'm running 15x10 Pro Stars and 26x11.5.x15 ET Streets and cut a 1.53 on them.

John, your 26x11.5 ET Street is the same size as a 26x10 slick... The measurments on slicks and DOT tires are derived a little differently...
