Front Runner and how they affect ET and Speed

What moper said.

Staging exactly the same, along with everything else, a taller front tire will have a faster 60'/ET and slower RT.

A taller tire might hurt aerodynamics a bit by letting more air under the car, but Mopars can easily compensate for that with a torsion bar adjustment.

Focus on consistent RTs because that, not fast ET or MPH, wins most bracket races. A person trying to change their physical RTs is not very consistent. Find a comfortable "spot" and mechanically change the vehicle RT with tires, air pressure, stage RPM, carb tuning, converter, etc. Last resort is "bumping" in if they need to be quicker. But that's not always as consistent either. Some cars, especially slow ones, are difficult to work with.
