Longhornmail is right, your 60 ft times will drop if you have no traction problems, but a taller tire with a larger footprint could actually improve traction off the line, improving 60 ft. times, if you are having traction problems. Just a thought, but I would think that if you are running out of your torque range, the taller tires would be the way to go.
