Then go w/ a 50 series tire. (smaller diameter) The 60's will slow your acceleration down.

ORIGINAL: nasty50

i went M/T's 235/50-15's and i have 4:10's a 100 shot of nitrous, and a bunch of bolt on crap......

my point is you don't need the "biggest tire" for your setup unless your putting down some serious hp

i don't know what your running, but for what i'm running the tires don't spin at all! (even in 1st gear with the nitrous)
his rite think about it 10.5 bad *** drag cars has like 2000hp plus... so to covert 10.5inchs to mms multipy buy 25..... 262.5mm believe.... and u want to run a 275....

granted a wider tire looks better... but they do cost more and arent realistic as far as proformance... they also and more rotaional mass which eats hp.... it all things to consider... i personally would find a tire size that had a nice price tag with it... not really small might look dorky... but 255 wont look much different than a 275 and u highly doubt ull get ne better than that
