But after some considerations ... I decided against that since IF the car hooks well with a small tire. Pulling a bigger tire down the track(that is not necessary for starting line traction) will hurt both overall ET and speed.
Your explanation makes sense... I think for running 9's and faster going with a tubbed setup would work best...
