275x60MT vs. 325x50MT I m about to get a set of one or the other..is all the beating and banging worth going a 325? I seen some say they ran better on the 275 60?
Even though I have ran better on 275/60s then the 325/50 to date the 325 is no doubt a better tire. I had a completely different suspension tuneup when I was was using the 275s that was much more radial friendly.

As far as the tire side there are very few constants in drag racing, but one is wider tired will hook better. May take a few more more HP to pust it down the track but its a good tradeoff for more consistent hooking.

The 325 will obviously be the better tire, but you can run some good times with a 275. I've seen an LTx car run well into the 5s and cut a 1.3x on a 275. It's all in the suspension setup.

Is it just me, or do the 325's seem to fit better on the Firebirds? I mean they don't seem to stick out past the quarters as much as they do on a Camaro. Anybody with a Camaro having trouble with 325's rubbing the quarters at launch?
BTW, I voted for 275's for this reason.
