OK fellas, I just burned up my 26x11.5x15 Hooiser QTP`s. Im a bolt on, suspenion m6 camaro with a fab 9" 4.11 gears and spooled. Car has been on a minor diet. Runs consistent high 11`s. The car did descent short times with the et streets (bias) and best 60' was 1.59 with the hoosiers. Im looking for a little better 60' so heres my options.
1) try a 27x11.5 Hooiser qtp
2) 26x10x15 Et Drag
3) 26x10x15 (S) Et Drag
4) 28x9x15 Et drag
5) Will a 28x10.5 or 28x10 fit and run the times with my 4.11 gears???

Don't run a taller tire unless you were out of gear at the traps or plan to run a numerically higher gear.
High 11's with bolt-ons only is pretty damn good for stock cubes if you are. Maybe look into a power adder?

Yes it's stock cubes and running pretty good. Just need experienced opinions on what tire to go with. Stick with the Hoosier qtp or go full slick? I can get a set of used 28x10 for the last event but will it kill me that much that I won't be able to compete in 12.0 class

Well I couldnt wait any longer. I went ahead and ordered M/T ET Drags. 26x10x15S. I could have gone with the same tire but I know it has better short times in it.
I slapped on my uncles 28x10.5x15S and the damn things fit perfectly. Had a minimal rubbing issue on my CME valence but cleared the bumper itself.
Took the car out and made 3 launch/passes and no issues other than abs/brake lights coming on. I did not notice any difference with the taller tire but im sure the track would be different.
Hopefully I can turn up the 2step and come out ALOT harder now.
