So I bought some slicks at the swap meet a few months ago. they're hoosier quick time pros, 26x9 I bought them for $100 with rims and tubes. My buddy just texted me and offered me his hoosier 28x10.5 for $200 would I be better off with the 10.5's I'm still pretty worried when I race this july that I'll stall it up to launch and the tire will just blow away. and I've got 3:73 gears and I'll shift @5700rpm

I would say that with your 3.73 gears the 26s would be best.

Here is a calulator that will tell you your speed at RPMs with different tire sizes and gear ratios
