Overall tire diameter has to match???

Hey Guys,

I wanted to know what the overall diameter has to match if I'm running a drag radial in the rear. I heard the car will go into limp mode if it is way off.

my front tire right now is 26.8 overall diameter can my drag radial be 26.5?

Thanks

KAMIL

one car at a time
0.3" should not cause a problem...You want to keep it under a 3% difference, so you could be off by as much as 0.5" and I think you would still be ok.

Thanks I have ordered my wheels for the rear so I should find out within a few seconds of smashing the gas pedal.
