Tire size help

I have a 28/10 with 411 gears and a built C4 466 Big Block ford. at 130mph threw the trap im spinning up there pretty good. What size tires are you guys running with 411 gears a 3 speed trans? Ill be spraying a 250 shot next time out and thinking I need to step up the tire size so I can make it threw the 1/4 mile... THANKS!

jeremiah ,

im running a 28 x 10.5 w/ a 3.73 gear , but with a p/g ...... i would also think about a gear change , these BBF are stump pullers

I run a 4.11 w/ a 32x14s and a fairly tight converter in the C4.

So should I do a gear change or a taller tire? Im really trying to stay with the 411 but Im down to listen to everyones thoughts.. Thanks

I would change tires.

My car is a foxbody coupe. Mini tubbed. 10" wheel. What size tire should I look into moving up to?

I would try a 29.5 x 10.5 ....if it will fit , what is the bs of you wheels ?

I want to say 5.5 but ill have to dubble check. and a 29.5 will give me som extra "gear" on the big end? Whats the easyest way to check with a tire on it?

I have the 29.5x10.5 with a 4.30 go thru at about 7300-7400 went from 28x10.5 with a 3.73 that went thru at about 6800
wanted to go to a 4.10 with the 28's but it was spinning already. Depending on how efficient your convertor is will also play a part on trap rpm's
powerglide and 3 speed are both 1-1 in high gear

So going from a 28/10 to a 29.5 10.5 how mush will I gain RPM? Or even a 30/10.5??

BS of the wheels look to be 6.5
