Drag radial which tire size for A4 3.42gears
Hi
i´m thinking what would be smarter tire size
295-50-16 (28") or 275-40-17 (26")
both are hoosier drag radial tires
i´m thinking this for AUTO whith 3.42 gears , and both NA and spray in mind
i would think bigger is better
but maby they are tuff for the NA power
i already have M/H 26X11.5X16 DOT and Hoosier 28X11.5X16 but there are few races here where i live that only allow radials
so i´m gona buy the 3rd pair

275s suck with more than 500rwhp!!
On a auto a radial works better if you go with 17s the 295/45/17 works awesome! The 275s just spin and don't hook don't waste your $ on them unless you have 500rwhp or less
now 16'' wheel is better with a 295/50/16 more sidewall that's where I'm going next for more traction after Brett's new tune its blowing off tires now the car spin's all the way through the 1/4 its scary and Bret tells me stay in dont let off ***** so I can log a full pass and tune her
scary!!
