Choices for rubber gears...

Most "H" or fasters speed rated tires eather have no load capacity or are 28" or smaller or10-30"wide drag rears.

To day I've found some options

32.18"D 235/55r22 (104w) 1984lbs 168mph $154 usd


31.41"D 275/25r26 (98w) 1653lbs 168mph $215 sud


30.04"D 255/50R20 (109Y) 2271lbs 186mph


B stock rpm +.20 od + 3.08 gear swap.
C as above + 3500 gov spring.

Now comes the question witch one will have the best coefficient of rolling resistance?
What effect will the different wheel sizes have?
Options 1 is 140.5 good for 130club +150club rated
option 2 is 137. 2mph@100% transfer of rpm. (The 518 non lockup torque converter has demonstrated a 5% loss of RPM)
Option 3 131.2mph this option will requires the 3500rp. Gov spring for the 130 club . And will be useable allthe way to 175 + to qualify for the long course.
