what are your mods? If your simple bolt ons and not making alot of power, than a 28'' tire will be too much for you. Most people will go with a 26'', or maybe a 27'' for bolt ons and cam only.

Unless you go up to 4.10's, the 26's are optimum for your power level.

But with the heads and cam do you think i will need a bigger tire to hold third all the way threw with the extra power? Thanks in advance
