How much better do 28" tires hook verses 26"?
I have been unable to get my MT 28 x 10.5 x 15 slicks to hook. I also couldn't get my 26 x 9 x 15 Hoosier slicks to hook either. The Hoosiers are quite softer than the MT.
Now my question. If I buy some Hoosiers with the soft compound in 10" wide, how much better will the 28" hook verses the 26". I would really like to go with 26" so my gearing would not be to tall. The 28" MT did lower my rpm at the lights a little too much. It will probably hurt my 60' too with the 28" if I ever get hooked. Should I go with the 28" tall and be safe in terms of traction even though I'll be a little over geared. I really feel that the Hoosier tires give better traction than the MT for a given size tire simply because they are softer. And my 26" Hoosiers are lasting just as good as the harder 28" MT. I'll also have to buy a set of 10" Draglites with either of these tires. Sure have a lot of Draglites and tires forsale. Anybody need (2) 15 x 7 Draglites, 15 x 8 Draglites, 26 x 9 x 15 Hoosier slicks or 28 x 10.5 x 15 Mickey Thompson slicks. All my tires have lots of thread left. Wheels are excellent condition. ------------------ 88 347, Twisted wedge heads,Comp Cams 224/230 cam, 1/4=10.718 @ 123.02 mph dyno= http://www.fbody.com/members/LarryS/mustdyno.jpg |
