Got to watch bowing the tire and reducing the contact patch, bigger not be better.

For sure like dave said on the tire patch. All I run now is a tire where I can stretch the tread straight and I have never hooked better. Ex. I was doing 1.40 60's on a 9in tread slick on a 10in wheel and packing the tires in the process, the funny thing was I eyeballed the suspension and never actually tuned it when I first put my big block in my mustang.
