how Much quicker are smaller front tires ?

[dragrace67camro]

I am thinking of getting a shorter ( smaller front tire )

Anyone have a idea of how much quicker a shorter tire reacts - per inch

so if you go from a 28 in tall tire to 27 how much quicker the car will react because of the shoter tire

if you went from a 28 in tall to 26 that kinda thing - - what do you guys think

you may redlight more often, the smaller tire will also be slower to trip the lights in the traps.

not to mention less rollout

well im not really worried about roll out or red lighting i am tring to get the car to break the beams faster

i went from a 28 in tall tire to a 26 in tall tire i only have 2 runs on them so far but they seem to be about .020 + quicker but this weekend will be the REAL test

What kind of racing are you doing?? Index or Heads up?

how your car gets the tires out of the lights will have a big impact on how much benefit the tires are, I have seen guys go from 26" to 23" on a Super Gas car and not pick up much more than .010

I run super street now and have been tying to race super gas - but cant get my car to break the beams fast enough to race a .400 pro tree
