Another Drag Radial Question

[1000NATIONAL]

Hello All,

I have BFG 275-50-15 DR's now and was looking at some 275-60-15's.
Other than the speedometer being slightly off, what will going from a 26" tall tire to a 28" tall tire do for me in the 1/4 mile? Will my 60' be faster or slower? Or will it just help out on lower RPM's on the top end?
(and yes I tried the search function) Thanks for your help.....
P.S. I have stock GN wheels widened to 10" and would like to hear recommendations on which drag radial is best all around.
Thanks.......Steve

MT is the best drag radial for racing but they don't last as long as others if that matters to you. Your 60' should improve quite a bit. Leaving at about 12psi off the transbrake, my car would pull the tires a few inches and 60' in the low 1.5x range.

I'm leaving off the foot brake. Are you saying the 60' will improve just by changing from the 26" to the 28"? Thanks...

I was cutting 1.8 60fts spinning with a 26 then went to 28s and cut 1.6 dead hooked at 8psi off the brake.
