Default what size tire?

I am just wondering what size tire I should go with on the new rims? right now I am running a 28x9x15 and I am looking to go with a 28x10x15 or a 10.5x15. The rims I am using are the summit prostar style rims. Im converting to a 5x4.75 bolt patteren. I seem to hook alright with the 9in tires but I know it can be better. I also have to mark and check the 9in tires bacause I think the rims maybe slipping

Hoosier makes a 29x12x15 I'd consider for your truck

The 28x10.5x15 will take all you can put to it.

Maybe not that much width but the extra height will help with that big stall out of the hole.... Not to mention if you plan to put a bottle on it one day... A 10.5 tire would probably be plenty, but I think a 29" would be helpful in your case... I'm considering a taller slick as well...

you dont think I would loose time going with a taller tire? I am using 4:10 gears but I am worried that 29 would take time from me. who knows I will go with.
