![]() Is running a shorter tire the same as changing your gear ratios? I was told I could get more performance running a shorter slick than I have now. Going from a 28" to a 26". Anybody have any info that could help? Thanks

![]() Depends on your combination. a shorter tire will get you out the of the hole faster and should help with 60 ft. times. Some people need a 28 incher though because they overpower a 26, or they need more top speed at the end of the track

![]() The difference between a 28 and a 26 inch tire is huge. My car ran better with the 26 inch tires.
