What are the tallest slicks/radials for 16in rims?
I'm probably gonna get an extra set of 16 x 8 rims for some slicks sometime next year. I'm trying to find some at least 28" tall. The 26" would look kinda goofy and mess my shift points up too much I would think. I remember Parish or somebody saying something about 28" slicks or radials. Thanks.

Hoosier Quick Time Pros are available in 28X10.5 (I think) and ET Streets are available in several 27-28" tall sizes.
The only DR that I've found that is 28" tall is the 305/45/18 BFG. Supposedly M&H is going to make a 275/55/16 DR, but I've yet to get an official date from them. I've been checking w/ them for almost a year now, and still nothing.

Maybe your shift point and rev limit are too close. I go from 29.5" 20's to 26x10.50 e.t. streets with no probs. Smaller diameter tire will allow the engine to rev faster and go a little further past the actual shift point. Try putting the rev limiter ~300-400 rpm's higher than the shift point. *Cold weather will do this also b/c the engine runs a little stronger.
