I could believe the difference in a 26x10.5 ET Street & Drag. The ET Streets is closer to the size of a 8" ET Drag.

My 28x10.5 ET Drags are pretty large...

My 26x10x15's are Hoosier Slicks. Plenty wide. I just see a lot of the big dogs going 28" and worry if I should be doing the same........

First, the only class i can think of that uses that small of a tire and trap speeds around that mph is SS/O in NMRA
But they use 28x10.5" tires and they ARE NOT W tires. They are true 10.5" tires.
Those cars ARE trapping well into the 170s and running high 7 second 1/4s
BUT
they also are mini-tubbed and use 12" wide rims to stretch the tire out to get the maximum patch
