I'm currently in the same boat as you on deciding which tire to get in a sense. Radials or bias-ply.
ET Street SS or ET Street R.
Make my 18x11 rims work, or sell them.
Buy a set of 17x9.5 or 17x11.
Keep as close to 27.6 as I can for minor tune adjustments, or drop to a 26" and pull fuses and fuss with my shift points/tune.

Dig race they said, get on A list they said, it'll be Easy they said.

How much sidewall is too much? Or stops having a positive effect on the launch?
My brother has a set of 28x10R17s on his 2018 A10 mustang, they're a bit tall and made his 2k launch a bit sluggish, but he hooks, so now I've Got to find a tire that will Hold all the LT1 torque and Not hurt my overall gear ratio so I can get out the hole Better than him.
