what size do you run, 26x11.5x16 or 26x10.5x16? Also I think most of you are running the 11.5 size, why? DO we need the 11.5 size, or would the 10.5 size work? I know that there is less foot-print, but are we putting out the hp needed for this size? Any comments would be great!

we use the 10.5's and launch under the nitrous, with no slipage on our local 1/8 mile track, we get 1.80 60 foots. Just my two cents...

I think its a trade off. Larger contact patch with 11.5s, but lower profile (shorter ratio) with the 10.5s. In Texas, more is better so I'm running 11.5s. Great tires for the strip either way.

 

hey Yoda, I guess I'm having the same luck as you trying to find a set of tires. This state sucks for good speed shops. As for as the tire size, I would think the bigger foot print woulld be best.

 

my thought exactly
