I've been thinking about this since Nov.
My launches are ok (1.82) but a smaller tire would help lower my 60' but my traction sucks now when I go back into 2wd. (squirrly big time)
I figure if I could find some really sticky 27-29" tires for the rear and some same diameter street tires for the front i can lower my 60" and yet still be able to switch into 2wd right after the launch and hook.

 

what is your gear ratio Trever1t?

 

3.73 's

 

want to trade? lol yea 28" would be about perfict for you.

 

Might look a little funny but I'm sure my times would be better, putting my rpm at the top of third (instead of the bottom) at the traps.

Wish I had kept my stock wheels for this.

 

What gear do you have Wilde?

 

4.1's

 

There alot more 29 inch tires and I bet you cna find them cheaper than a 30. Nothing wrong with the brand and one inch will not make much difference in gear or trap speed

 

the only compainy that sells 29" that I can find is Nitto. and if I just do the rears I don't want to launch in 4wd if the fronts are 30" tall...

 

cal-tracs in the back with some drag tires matching the front size and roll with it. Thats what I plan on doing.
