Will I be cool running this combo at the track? I am guessing I will be fine, I doubt there is much difference, but wanted to ask you guys first

I'm sure he means 275/40/17. 175 would be a hoot!!! I remmeber putting a donut on back of my old Camaro.....could chirp the tire in 5th :tup:

10 more revs per mile on the front versus the rear, that's 1000 more revs on a 100 mile trip. That's 5000 more revs on a trip to NATS in KC from your place and back. I'd be a bit worried about that. Wouldn't take long for the xfer case to feel that difference, IMO.
However, if you get tricky with tire pressures, you could equalize the overall diameter (or at least get much closer than an 8mm difference) and make it work.

Thanks a bunch guys....and yeah I meant 275
Luckily the track is only 20 miles away, and I will only run maybe 8 times ( 2 miles ) at the track for a trip less than 50 miles .... I will definately take that "pressure" advice to heart .... I appreciate it.
I just cant justify putting $400 in drag tires on the fronts quite yet just for the 8mm's ---
