You are spreading the weight of the car out over a larger area, so each square inch of tire is not being pressed into the ground as hard. Wider will help in wheel spin situations because rubber is being torn off the tire, and larger surface area will help, but the traction difference between a 275 and 315 is pretty negligible for straight line performance. I also agree with Beach Bum, I don't think you'll dead hook it with a radial tire. You might get the ET street radials to do it at the track if you prepare the car correctly, but since you don't plan to drag race that often you probably won't have the chance to make 150 passes and really dial the car in. |
