I'm doing the research for a friend who wants to buy wheels for his 87 GN, and 17s I keep saying are the way to go. He is saying that he needs as close to a 28" tall tire as possible for traction reasons, and as most know, there is no 28" tire available in 17s.
Question: What's the traction difference between a 275/40-17 and a 275/60-15 BFG Drag Radial? Is it a very noticable difference, or is it splitting hairs?
FYI- The tallest 17" tire I can find is a Nitto Drag Radial 255/50-17, which is 27" tall. How do the Nittos compare to the BFG Drag Radials?
