I don't believe it's the diameter Steve is concerned with, but the WIDTH. Tracking is the main reason all the drag cars run the skinny fronts... when the front tires touch the strip at those speeds the least amount of tire patch that contacts the strip means the least amount of steering response. On the strip that can be a good thing.
