26" drag radials...vs 28"+
if a 26" tire will hook the truck, don't you get the added benefit of the gear ratio change due to the smaller diameter tire?
In other words, if I am running a 31" tire and spinning bad...if I use a 28" tire, my .370 gear then reacts close to that of a .411 w/ a 31"...a 26" tire having the same effect...lowering the ratio to close to that of a .456 w/ a 31" tire?

I got the tires though...just debating on the wheels now...I found a 17"x8" steel wheel at Summit on clearance for $59 each...w/ 4.5" bs...???

What do you guys think about these wheels? Is there no one out there with a 6-lug lightweight race wheel? I can't seem to find one...
I would prefer much more bs, but these are the only ones I can find w/o buying custom wheels...and these are for the track only...

not only do you get the benefits of numerically higher gear ratio, you also gain the rotational inertia with shorter tires that you wouldn't get with 4.11's and tall heavy tires.
