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

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.

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 $.

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).
