Tire expansion
Does anyone have any information on how much a drag tire expands at speed?
I am trying to roughly gauge ride height for a '70 Nova based on these tires and the existing wheel tubs. The tires are Goodyear Eagle 32x14 Dragway Specials in the D1984 compound. Right now it traps in the mid 140s. Does the starting pressure change the ending diameter much?

MT's website says 1" to 1.5" at 150 mph ( http://mickeythompsontires.com/faqpage.php?faq=15 )
