Default 27x10.5x16LT MT Streets

Do ya'll think they will be wide enough to stick well?

How long do you think my rear end will last?

im not to sure if its wide enough of not,

but your rear end lasting, its probably going to be ok. but sometimes one run could break it. you never know.

the rear should in theory, but it is a gov-lock after all and they break at random. as for the tire, it should be well enough, but with stock suspension it may not be.

My 26x10.50 hook up most of the time depending on track prep. I also have stiff hotchkis springs/sways and 3.73 gears. Best short time on them is a 1.72 which isnt bad for a truck. With your 3.42 I dont think you will have a problem with them. BTW... is that a new size MT just came out with. I havent seen them yet.

I think it must be .. cause this is the first time I've seen them listed. I've been checking pretty regularly too. Another apealing factor to them is they are only 153 a tire, which is about 20 cheaper than the 28x10.5's and 10 bucks more than the BFG drag radials.

Will the MT 26-11.5-r16s stick if I spray the 225 off the line? I know its kinda a dumb question but seriously, will they. If not where can I get wider without going to 30" plus diameter tires?

Snake.. you may want to step up to the 28x12.50, especially with the 4.10s. From my experiance, I could not see you hooking up on the 26x10.50 with your set up because I am on the boarder line with mine.

EDIT:
Just read the sig more closely. I originally thought you were running a 6.0L(the K&N GEN 6.0 threw me off). With out a converter you may be able to stick with the 26s but they are going to put your rpms way up there with your gears. So I still stand by my original recomendation of the 28s.
Oh and one more thing... A 225 DRY shot?! Do you have new injectors? I am curious to see how long that lasts if not.
