Default Best tire size for A4 with 3.73 gear

I want to buy some draglites for my 1998 a4 trans am. I have a 9inch with 3.73 gears. I plan on buying the 15x10 with a 7.5" backspace. Which tire size is best?

depends on what you have done to car and what you plan on doing to the car. If you gave us that info we would have a better of what is better for you. Im running a 26in tire and have a 3.73, 4k stall, ms3 cam. I would go up to a 28in tall tire if I went to a 4.10 gear or put a 150 shot on my car.

Not a daily driver, heads and cam already installed and planning on rebuilding tranny and installing a 4k stall with my tax money in march. I want it for drag racing primarily. Hope this helps!

I would go with a 26in tire, with heads and cam your putting down good power but I think it would be over kill with a 28in tire.
