Compare to a 26 inch tire, I'm out of...

I like big tires.
But ideally, you need to calculate your final drive ratio with the tires so you are at a reasonable rpm at the stripe.
Your draggy should give you a good idea of the mph you’re going to be at the 1/4. Allow a few mphs for improvements in power you will make.
Then work it...
Slipping the clutch can help eliminate bogging by keeping the rpms up, the problem with wheel spin or slipping the clutch is that while they may help your 60' it is very difficult to do consistently every time which is why I say for consistency you want NO wheel spin or bog.
