Which tire is better for handling more horsepower and torque for drag racing 28x12.5 or 315/60?

 

More than enough proof out there it’s how the chassis/gears/suspension/diet/tune is set up, not so much the tire. Cars are running 6 second 1/4 miles on 275/60’s small tire.

Steve Morrison ran a 4.24 on small tire.

set ur car up right with small tire to keep the weight down. Rotational mass is a time killer.

Yoji posts the same basic questions on Reddit too.

Yoji are you some person living in East Asia on an island?

 

No I'm not my location is correct on here.

 

I'll bite. A 315 (millimeter) is wider than a 12.5 (inch). A 60 isn't exactly equal to a 28" tire though as the 60 is an expression of the sidewall height/diameter ratio, not the absolute height of the tire.

Which one is better for your particular application is a different question. There are many other variables such as the tire compound, fitment, suspension, weight and racing class. I suggest you post up details of your car and objectives or read and search a lot in this forum and also in the tire and wheel forum.

Okay fair, I have seen you post this either/or scenario a few times.

One time you mentioned a fox body, is that still the plan?
