will taller front tire help times?

[beefcake]

curious, the tires i have up front now are about 24.5 to 25 inches.

m&h makes a 27 and a 28" tall tire, i'm running a 28" tall tire in the rear.

i'm wondering if launch and going down the track if that would be better with the taller tire. i'm thinking after talkin to a buddy today, that it does make sense as the weight transfer outta be better and it won't nose over as bad

Im curious about this too but Im wondering how it would be if the front is a bit higher than the rear if that affects anything also because im running stock tires and wheels up front and then 275/50/15s in the rear

A taller front tire will also increase rollout at the starting line, which will trigger the beams a tick later and decrease ET.

Like better ET or worse ET?

Decrease ET, as in lower, faster.

which can also be accomplished by staging as shallow as possible.

True... but doing both is even better.

i thought a taller tire would get the nose up in the air and help weight transfer...which would lead to improved et's
