Default 26"x11.5" ET Street vs 28"x12.5" ET Street

I recently added a new rearend to my car and now I am concerned I didn't have enough gear put in it. Besides the obvious cost of new gears, I really don't want to change out the gears because mine are very quite so far.

I am getting ready to order some ET Streets. I was looking at the chart with the information concerning the two tires. Below is the tire information.

Tire Size Rim Tread Section Diameter

26x11.5 10" 9.8" 12.0" 26.3"
28x12.5 10" 9.9" 12.5" 28.2"

They are very close in size besides the diameter. Will they hook and run out on track very similar? Am I giving up a lot of hook going with the shorter tire?

The shorter tire more close matches my gearing. My setup should be good for low 11s / high 10s motor and then will get a 200-300 shot and see where that takes me.

Thanks,

Dave
