Yeah John,their 28" tall!
That's the only ones that would fit on a 13" rim with a wide rear end!
M/T's would also fit,but their not out for another 5 months or more.

The 1/8 mile is great for learning and dialing in your technique, so your ready when it comes time for the 1/4 passes.

Good luck and don`t forget to post those slips!

Nice! P345's are the widest tire you can get right? I don't think there is a P355? Eitherway, that looks like an awesome tire
