Default Grip...28 x 10 x 17 or 26 x 8.50 x 17?

2004 C5 Z06 with stock 3.42 gearing.

Will the 26 provide the same grip as the 28?

Thanks!

Use the 26' tire.

Bias ply, right?

It should be fine. Work with tire pressure to find what's right for your car and the particular track for any given track outing.

Have fun!
