I'd think MT drag radials would work better, if that's what you are looking for. The smaller the rim the more "balloning" you'll have and the less "foot print"

I have 2 yrs on these in the 85 truck and just swaped them over to the 440 truck. they still look new(no burn outs with them) A-body 8 3/4 with 12" rim 4 1/2" backset 29x15x15 tucked in the fenders. 26x8.00x15 on 7" rim 4 1/2" backset on the fronts they hold up well on a truck. my 29x15x15 sportsman pro went 14 months as a daily driver the SR radials get my vote for longevity and performance but not for drag racing. 7326195-rearshotfattys.jpg (298 downloads) Last edited by scratchnfotraction; 08/07/12 04:33 PM.
