26" goodyears here


Just keep in mind that as you increase the diameter you increase the rollout and it will slow your RT's.

If you are looking for a little more of a street / strip compromise and save a few $, you might want to consider an all aluminum wheel from a late 70's Cordoba. They might be a little wide at 15"X6", but they weigh 13# each without all the flash on them. I mounted 70 series street radial tires on mine (27.4" dia ) for a total weight (tire / wheel / lug nuts) of 41 lbs. each. Not too bad considering what the rest of my turd weighs.

Hoosier 28" on my Dart Sport.
But I chose the size based on the reaction times I was getting when leaving on a comfy spot on the tree.

Depending on what series we run (422 AllStars run a 0.400 full tree; the rest of the world runs a 0.500 full tree), we switch between 26.5 and 29" tires.

28" tall M/T Sportsmans. I went with the 28" so I could do exactly what you're trying to do...get more suspension travel. I used to have 26" tires on it and put on the 28" tires. I lowered the car down over them for the same ride height but an extra inch of travel. CHIP

I haven't run them yet (other than about 1 mile on the street), but have 28" Moroso DS2s. I was a little disappointed in that they measure out at 27.5", because I wanted to do the same thing.

Moroso 7.60 C 15 on '72 'Cuda. I had to clearence front fender just a little. With this size tire I can lower the torison bars all the way to the bump stops to get max travel and keep the oil pan safe. Tires are approx 29.5" on 3.5" wheel.
