Need new slicks, looking for dimensions I need some new tires soon. Currently on a Hoosier 28x10.50 and they have done good. Looking to go a little larger but am tire well limited front to back. The Hoosiers actually measure at about 27 inches, and the 29x10.50 Hoosier measure in at 28
Looking at the ET Drags my buddy has they are just over 27 inches on a 28x10.50 tire. The ET drags then go to a 29.5x10.50. Does any have this larger MT tire and maybe get a dimension?
I'd like to get a little later contact patch

Contact patch is also affected by wheel depth also.
We use a 28x10.5w and a 275, the radial is 28.2" tall and think the 28 is really close to 28ish. Not enough to warrant changing anything in the tuneup outside of the ramp profile for the radial.
