Default who is running MT drag radials??

getting ready to buy a set for some GM 16" alloy rims. what size are you running and how did they work for you? im on the fence between the 26" and the 28" and the max width i can run on the stock rim. any help is greatly appreciated.

My first set I had 26" (275/45/17) and they were useless (spinning) and way too small which made my truck look stupid. I have 28" (295/45/17) now and they are a lot better (hardly spins, if at all) still a little small for my liking but I'm limited with a 17" rim. FWIW I'm a highway roller only. No opinion on dig racing.

I run a 315/60r15 ET Street Radial. I like them because they drive better on the street, they seem to last longer too. Before I switched to the radial I'd go through 2 sets of ET streets a summer and now with the street radial I only go through one set. I may switch back to the bias ET street, they seem to hook better for me.
