What is the rollout of the tire, how many inches?
I learned that 82" was perfect and allowed my street cars to turn their fastest times, both hot air and intercooled. Back then the BFG Radial T/A in 215-65-15 and 235-60-15 and the little MT 8.5" slick were right on the money. The Hoosier Quick Times in 275-50-15 made the cars "feel" better at launch but they all suffered in 60-foot, 1/4 mile ET and MPH with their 77" rollout. The 10" MT slick was more than 84" and my cars ran faster with the radials when run in street trim.
This was on factory rims and times have changed in the nearly 16 years since my days so my information may be dated as regards to the tires. Also, the cars were set up for daily driving, 12.0s for the intercooled cars and low 13s for the hot air cars. Cars with over 450 RWHP probably react differently as their converters would almost certainly be different than stock.
