Is bigger tyres worth it?

I have always wanted to try a skinny soft compound winter tire set to about 18 psi? Blizzak winter tires or something along that lines. Can air them back up to 32 psi they are DOT legal and are a radial tire. Last about 5000 miles. You have the right amount of HP and not a lot of rear gear, so something like this may work for you. You dont have a lot of room in the Dart rear wheel well, so you are going to be limited to what the racing tires size has to offer. There is a drag race class running a 26" tire class, not sure if that is something else you may want to look, see what tire they are running.
