What size ET streets?

I don't know weather to get the 26x10.5x16 or the 26x11.5x16. What is a good price for them? Also, whats a good cheap wheel to put them on?

I had 26x11.5x16's on my truck last year with aluminum 16x10 wheels. They worked well. The best 60fts were low 1.7's.
Some people used them with the 16x8 wheels which are less expensive and may work just as well.

I heard these work better than the 26" MT. enter ad#14692

If you have the stock 3.55 gears, go with the 10.5s. If you have upgraded to 3:73 gears, go with the 11.5s. Go with a 10" wheel if you don't mind spending a few extra bucks.

I thought if you had 3.55s go with 26" and 3.73s go with 28". What difference does the width make?

For some reason, the 10.5 is considerably shorter than the 11.5 even though they are both listed as 26 inch tires. Doug has a set of 10.5s and I run the 11.5. Sitting side by side, my tires are at least an inch to 1.5 inches taller than his. I know how the tire formulas work, but I'm talking real-world comparison. I wouldn't have believed it had I not seen it myself.

Thanks for clearing that up sixpipes. Looks like I'll be running the 26x10.5 since I only have 3.55s.
