So I have these sitting in my garage and decided to take a picture.

Left:
Stock SRT-8 Goodyear RSA 245/45/20 Mounted on a 20" x 9" Rim

Overall Diameter:28.68 in


Center:
M&H Drag Master 275/50/17 Mounted on a 17" x 9" Rim

Overall Diameter:
27.82 in
Diameter Difference: 3% from 245/45/20

Right:
Mickey Thompson 275/40/17 Mounted on a 17" x 8" Rim
Overall Diameter:25.66 in
Diameter Difference: 10.53% from 245/45/20

The difference is quite noticeable.

That picture is worth a thousand words....

For those doing the math.... going from the factory tire to the smaller Mickey T's is effectively equivalent to changing ring/pinion from the factory 3.06 to a 3.42 in the 6.1.

For us 5.7 guys its the equivalent to us upgrading from the gas mizzer 2.86 to a 3.20 rear gear.

Yeah, amazing the difference in the stock SRT tire and the MT ET Street.

Nice photo, Nathan!! It shows a major difference in ride height with advantage to the MTs for launches.
