Default 28x9 ET drags VS 27x10.5 QTP

Just curious which one should hook better in my M6? They're both about the same height but the qtp is a bit wider. Any input?

well no doubt the et drag is the king. i have no power compared to most but i have pulled 1.51 with them. i would say that both tires are just about teh exact same size but the materal is softer for the drags. i would personally go with a bigger tire if you are gonna run that big motor on the juice.

I have seen 1.2 sixties on a 28x9 inch ET drag. They will hook for sure

on a 4th gen stock style suspension? dont get me wrong, i have gone well on this tire, in fact it is too much tire as i run 19 psi cold and dead hook! but i am not a super stroker on nitrous like the above.

I have run 28x9 ET DRAGS and 27x11.5 QTP's(dot legal).
Hoosiers hook alot better.

I have not seen anything higher than a 1.59 in bad
track conditions.1.511 as a best
I launch @ 6500 off a 2 step.

Do the 27x11.5 qtp's need any clearancing to work?
