I'm wanting to buy a set of 28" slicks for my turbo car, but not sure of exactly what size to get and what wheels to use. Right now I'm racing with a pretty well worn set of 26" X 10.0" X 15" M/T ET Drags mounted on 15" LX wheels.
I want the 28" tires mainly to get more MPH out of each gear, but better off the line traction would also be nice. I've still got stock bolt patterns and stock brakes, so there isn't much to pick from on the wheels. I guess the main question is should I stick with the rather narrow 15" LX wheels I'm using now for a taller sidewall or go to the wider 16" stock SC wheels and give up some sidewall height for a better contact patch ? I've heard good things about the Hoosier quick time pros, so that's the brand I'm most interested in.
What are you guys who are running 28" tires doing ?
