26" vs. 28"
26" vs. 28" I'll be getting a set of Billet Specialties Streetlites soon and I'm trying to figure out which tire I should go with. I'll either be getting the MT 275/50/15 (26") or the MT 275/60/15 (28"). My car is a m6 and my mods are in my sig. I also do not plan on spraying the car for a while. I'm thinking the 26" tire would be better for my current N/A setup. Any info. would really help.
Thanks

Verdad Gallardo I was thinking a 28" tire would be a little to much tire for 3.89s? I did the calculations on fbodygears.org and with the 28" I'd be going through the traps at around 5400 and with the 26" I'd be going through at 5800. I know it would be good for spray but I'm not planning on spraying at the car for a while.

when i had my h/c setup i was going through at 6700 with 4.11's i switched to the 4.56's and im perfect right at 7200 .... i thought you had 4.11's my bad and its in you sig ....for now stay with the 26in **** you'll go threw them quick anyways lol...
DTB, you and I are very close with accessories. I tried 26", but the 28" worked much better. I started with 3.73's and ended up with 4.10's. Your 3.89's will work great. I have 15"X10" Drag Lites with a 6.5" BS. It fits beautiful. If my daughter gets back with her digital camera, I'll download a picture before you spend your $.
Go with 28x11.5x15 MT ET streets. I had the 275/50 street radials and couldnt get them to bit. With the et streets I just would launch off the limiter (6600) to shock the tires with 11psi. Hooked dead every pass. 1.62 best 60 with a cam, and mild head work.
325's are way over the top anyways man. Yes they look badass, but there are cars running single digits on 275 50's. Those guys are also running autos. I dont think there is any other option than a 28 with a M6. Just my $.02.
Ok cool, thanx. Ima prob end going with 275/60/15 when go 15s in the rear. Im not going to cut or hammer anything lol
BUT the 325s look sick!Matt
28" tire vs 26" tire I have the chance to buy a set of near new 28x11.5x16 hoosiers on some salad shooters...
I wanted to know if these will fit under my wheel wells with my KYB's and pro kit springs... And what would be the advantages over the 26"

28" vs 26" for 60' traction, how much better are they? My average leave is a 1.6x 60' on a 25.4" tall hoosier drag radial (low 1.5x on a well prepped track, but that's rare). I just picked up some 28x12.50x15 ET Streets and am wondering how much better they will hook? How much reduction in can I expect in my 60'. They are non "S" tires unfortunately, but they were cheap. I can make enough power on launch to blow them off, so i'm not worried about effective gearing, i'm thinking they will help me out some since I'll be able to cross the 1/4 in 2nd gear instead of shifting to 3rd where I have massive converter slip for 2 seconds (20% vs 4% if I hold 2nd gear).
