those tires have different heights bro, not much but different.
Tires were 265 35R17 and 275 35R17 so there is no difference in height. 255s are 40 and 245s are 45 but 265 and 275 were both 35R17 on his car bro so it didnt matter. Reason why he put a different size tire was because its his daily driven car to go to work and the car he mistreats ( he does not care a bit about the mach1) Were were taking his 91 Coupe but we didnt get it ready that day and the mach1 had one tire on the back was flat and really bad so he had a 265 laying around and we just replaced it and went to the track like that for the heck of it. He still did a 2.0 60ft taking off at 2-2300. Mods are 410s C&L CAI and a super chip tune he did. 1/8th time best was 8.508.

maybe the fact that he builds mustangs yet is dumb enough to run 2 different size tires on the back is the reason why he broke an axle. You do realize that not only were those back tires a different width but a different height as well, don't you? I guarantee you he didn't 60' hard enough to break them, there is some other underlying issue if it's not directly related to the tire size.

What I put in bold is you saying exactly what I said... a 2.0 60' will not break an axles, but stuff like mismatched tire heights, and him abusing the car could. BTW a 2.0 is not a great 60' so don't waste your time bragging on it.
Back to the OPs question. Without good tires don't expect much gain with those mods. You'll probably spin more out the hole.
