    Hey guys what drag tires do you think I should get? They are three tires sizes that I would like your opinion on, 29.5", 30", or even 31" tall tires, Im currently running 28" tires MT Street, Im getting custom wheels for it and installing a 14 bolt with 4:10 gear ratio so if I go with a bigger tire the gear ratio will go down as I would like right? I currently have 3:42 which I like.

    Thanks

    JJ,

    I WOULD GO 30". IF I RUN A 4.10, THATS WHAT I AM GOING TO RUN. I DON&#39;T KNOW, 29.5 ISN&#39;T MUCH SMALLER SO EITHER ONE. I AM RUNNING A 29.5 TIRE RIGHT NOW WITH 3.73&#39;S.

    I thought there was a problem with putting 15" rims on our trucks? Something about the brakes?

    I think Allen meant 15" wide. But I&#39;ll be getting them on 15" wheels 16" in width.

    Damn, that&#39;s a lot of meat on the ground. Time to start breaking things.
