what are your mods...and why so tall of a tire? you only need a 26inch like that you keep your topend and low end power

bs! 26 are fine...the 27 would be to much...your stock 302? with n20 and 410's your prolly only making 340 or around there rite?..if so then 26 are hella better and are you going full blowns or dr's?

I was told the 26x10.5x15 et streets ar too much for my car. Im only at 390 hp and 457 trq with a 150 shot. A local over here said i need like 24's or something. Ive always heard 26's are good for mustangs unless your making over 600 then go to 28s. But this guy told me im breaking so many rearends bc im running 26s.

i'll tell you this. i have 410's and i run a 26" tall tire, and it leaves me wanting more. off the line power and accelleration is great, but i find myself shifting into 4th about 20 feet before the finish line. i also have a 28x10.5 (mounted on a turbine) tire that i am going to be running soon. i will let you know how that goes. whatever you do foxman, good luck
