Scot's right! Only reason I went with 28"s is because my factory tires were
28" tall (255/65/15)
And I already have 3.92 gears, didn't want to go any lower for now. If you
have 3.55's, I would definitely go with a 26-27" tire , get those gears back
up around 4.00 or so.
Scott, what gear are you running?

~you guys looking for drag tires, I would suggest running a 26" tall tire.
~The taller the tire the lower your gear ratio goes. I run Mickey Thompson
~26x10.5x 15 with no traction problems and run 12.5's @ 110mph
~just a little suggestion, cause you could actually slow yourself down by
~going too tall
