What is the best Tire for the Road and still give decent 60 fts.

I have been running 265x75x16 BFG "D" rated Kos for many years and race with the same tires at the track. I do lower the tire pressure at the track.

Lately I have been thinking about buying new tires, same KOs but "E" rated. Will the "E" rated tire give less favorable 60fts vs the "D" rated tire ?

Also, Does anyone run BFG Rugged Trail T/A 265x75x16 E rated tires and would those be a better tire for the strip than the KOs? (The rugged trail is more of a road tire)


For the record, I have great results with the BFG KO tires off road and need a good tire when I pull my travel trailer. I despise tire problems.

Not to hijack this thread, but what is the common lost time in the 1/4 mile between 245 stockers and 285 70 17's with a stock to mild tuned truck? Just curious as I just switched tire sizes.
