[QUOTE="Polecat, post: 1413159, member: 554260"] true and false. On cars with a massive amount of power, you want as much tire as you get get. In a 10.5 class for example, you have to have an approved 10.5 wide tire. But to take the 'shock' off, you need to get a bigger tire. This is why you don't see guys with 26x10.50 ET Streets. As a car goes faster down the 1320, you want max RPM right before you cross the line. So you have to take tire height, [B]at[/B] the line and take tire growth into consideration. As the car speeds up, the tire grows in height, and less in width. So a racer will need to gear accordingly. Now for most street cars, they don't have enough gear already, so a 26 or 27 " ET Street or Drag radial, will suffice. [/QUOTE]
