31s v.s. 33s v.s. 35s in 1/4 mile and HWY speeds
OK, since everyone is saying a little bit of everything different, I thought this would be the best way to determine. I would like to know what differences to expect in a 1/4 mile with each size and also in the HWY, so example:
If a guy ran a 15.1 in 1/4 with 265s, what would he probably run with 285s or 315s??? So, this is what I roughly need to see:
1/4 mile GRAPH:
265/70/17= 15.1
285/70/17=
295/70/17=
305/70/17=
315/70/17=
So if anyone can just fill out what they think the bigger sizes it would be in the 1/4 mile taking that the guy ran a 15.1 with the stock 265s.
Also, How would the bigger tires also benefit off a roll, hwy speeds??

I think AK RAM said he was .4 slower with 315s vs. the stock 265s. That drop comes from the increased rotational mass and the effective drop in gearing. You'll see a similar dip in performance from a roll, too. They look better, though....

Yep...a big...or small issue...depending on how you look at it.
There is not enough room for a good 12...in volume or in depth/width at the bottom of the MOOSEMUSICAUDIO.COM box.

This thread has went from hijacked to giggles pretty quick-LOL.
I have been running 315s since new. I am switching to 285s Saturday and will probably be at the track on Sunday. I will post what differences I see between 315s and 285s as soon as I have track time.

never ran 1/4 on stock tires, just give it more power to compensate. I dont think the 315's slowed me down much, but i only ran it with stock tires for 8K miles.
