Time for some big boy wheels. This 60 mile an hour tire spinning is retarded.

I will use GT rear brakes and 3 inch studs(which brand)

What size tire? 26x10x15, 26x10.5x15, 26x11.5x15 ?

ET Streets or Drags? Will see some street use....:frown:

3 inch studs(which brand) ARP is a good choice. Moroso is another option. Are you certain you want 3" studs? I think the Prostars have a narrower mounting depth than some of Welds other offerings (like the Draglites). A 3" stud may end up sticking out well past the lug nut.

What size tire? 26x10x15, 26x10.5x15, 26x11.5x15 ?These size options really apply to ET Drags (see below). But if you go with an ET Drag, I'd recommend a 26 x 10.5

ET Streets or Drags? Will see some street use....:frown:ET Drags are not street legal. The mere fact that you're contemplating a slick vs. a "cheater" slick says to me that you plan some "spirited" driving on the street. Do you really want to be pulled over running a drag slick on the street (while speeding)? Go with the ET Streets and use a 26 x 12.5 (a 26 x 10.5 has an 8" tread - why even go there?). IMHO, I might even consider a 28 x 12.5" ET Street - more circumference = more grip (at the cost of some added instability around the corners). But I'm sure you already know that any of these bias-ply alternatives will be inherently less stable than a radial tire. Now - if you were to contemplate a drag radial tire, that would be a different story...
