Tire size question
Posted: Sun Mar 29, 2009 9:22 pm
If you have a 28x10x15 and switched to a 26x10x15 would the 26" tire have less hook than the 28" ?
I swithched to a 28" slick on my car this year and lost about 500 rpm at the stripe and a 10th in my time. I need that tenth back. I run a index class
So my question is if I buy a 26" slick will the car still hook as good as the 28" slick ?
I was running a 275/50/15 drag radial last year and was having trouble hooking and consistency with it. So I bought a 28" slick and now my hooking problem is cured but I lost my cushion to tune on my time I had.
Maybe I just need to change the gear in the car But if you put in a steeper gear in dont you lose strength in the gear?
Any thought would be appreciated!
