Default Tire diameter of a MT ET drag 26x10.0-15 at top end?

I'm going to try running a set of new ET drags next week and see how the car behaves. But I know the tire will get a little taller at high tire speeds. So what tire diameter should I put in there to keep things kosher with the PCM?

Thanks

Growth on those tires will not be worth messing around with in the PCM. Been there... ignored that.

Sweet. My stock tires are 26.2" so I don't figure it'll hurt any to just slap 'em on and go then.

Thanks

Yep, used to toss them in the back and put the jack on the floor and swap them on in the pits when I pulled into Stanton.

My 26x10's measured closer to 27" tall FWIW. They're considered a 'low growth' tire by M/T and won't affect anything anyway. You're brake light will likely come on if you drive around on them for a little while.
