i dont see you needing anything more than a 275/50/15 m/t radial. any more tire and you will slow down.

OK,thanks for the replies.So anything bigger would require some work to make fit and not be any better for my set up ?

no, you could fit a 28" tire in there very easily. Mine required no extra work over the 26" tire other than some adj. LCA's.

What we're saying is that with your gear and power level it might be too much tire for you. A larger tire can slow you down
