Need Help with Drag Radials
Alright guys, im not sure im posting this in the right section but i need help picking a size for a drag radial.
I am looking at one of two sizes. 275/40/17 M/T or a 275/50/17 M&H. The M/T is a 26" and the M&H is a 28".
Here is my current setup.
lq9 6.0, Radix 8psi, dynatechs, corsa, and tuned. I am running a 4l80e with a VIG 26-2800 stall. My gears are stock 373s. Which tire should i choose and why?
Edit.....my max power on the dyno was at like 5100rpm.

my 26" M/T's could not handle my cammed 6.0 n/a... so Im pretty sure it wont handle your radixd 6.0 either..... that's why I sold my 26's and going with some 28" Hoosier's...

yeah, the 26's would be better for the gearing w/ the 80e but i don't think they will handle the power. too bad they don't make a 28" tall m/t drag radial.

I have the 255-50-R16's. If you were a little closer,(I'm in Pgh,PA) you could try em. I got quite a bit more mph, due to getting into high sooner. I haven't had time to fool with them this year, though.
