Not pulling anything as of yet, but am looking for opinions for a nice overall size/pitch. I might dream for a 35 MPH top end, but if 1-2 MPH cripples its ability to giddy up too much, I'm OK with that, too.

PS-I haven't a tach so I can't do anything by reading.

The previous owner included a 14x17 on it which is probably better as a spare.

I run a 13 1/4 x 15 on my 16ss with a 70 Rude. top speed 32 at 5800. Gets up on plane quick. Tried a 21, top speed 29 and couldn't get rpms above 5000.
