[QUOTE="kleistang, post: 10459322, member: 86055"] i think he is right to a point but anyway if you have more surface you would definitely hook better. lets say he is right and the drag of a wider tire would slow you down, but it would also depend on the distance that you would be traveling which in a 1/4 or 1/8 mile race i think it would not be much. me i'd stick to better launch with lower mph at the end than having the possibility of over launching the car and sniping with a narrower tire. i went trough the same thing with my s197. with 28x10.5 slicks i was able to go 7.5s all day long hooking death on and very consistent. i switched to 255/60/15 and was able to run the same times but it was less consistent i use to spin out the whole many times. switched to 275/60/15 and it got a little better. i did over 400 passes on the car so i can tell you that the wider tires and hooking death on for me works better [/QUOTE]
