New drag tire time. Need help I have been runnig a 26/10/15 ET Drag on my cam only car cutting 1.46-1.48's when they were new. I was still cutting 1.52-1.54's with them yesterday with the cord showing 
Anyway it's time to get new tires (race only) I would say 
I'm trying to decide if I want to get the new MT Drag Radials or anouther set of ET Drads to fit on my 15x8 rims. Which would hook better and more consistant?
Also wondering if I should step up to a 28" tire because I'm running a 4l60e w/ 3.? first gear, 3.73 gears, and a TCI 4400 w/ 2.8 str that hits very hard off the line?
Any help would be greatly appreciated guys.

If you go to the 28's you may need to do some clearencing it to them on your car. Also, the rearend may not last very long if it is still a 10 bolt.
We have the same concern with my Dads car(01 Z/28 346 H/C with a 10 bolt). I think we are going to stay with the 26x10.5x15's until we put a 12 bolt in her.
Good luck,
Coach

Thanks for the reply Coach. I have a built 8.8 in mine though 
I think I have decided to stay with a 26" tire as long as I can. With my gearing 3.73's and redline 6700 I cross the 1/4 around 5900 and it would be lower with 28's 
Only question now is to stay with an 26" Drag or try the 275/50/15 MT Drag Radials?

Gomer, Yea that was me If I had known there were some LS1Tech folks there I would have said hi. I saw the Silverado SS, but never saw a NBM WS6. Were you with the guys in the Pewter WS6 on the trailor?

I may be missing your discussion boys, but my new MT/DR 275/40/17 aren't lightweights each tire weighs like 28 lbs. They will bust your ***** and give you a hernia, but those ****'s will grab better than the BFG and Nittos. It's a fact.
