I'm running MT 325/50-15(approx.28"). It's great on spray,but it's hurting my n/a time. Look at my sig.
I think 26" will be better on motor.

If you are going to drive and race it on the street some also I would run the 325 50 15.

You always want to run the smallest tire you can hook on. Less rotating weight and less rolling resistance. Keep in mind a 28 may require trimming, do a search.

I would run the 275/60/15. It is a 28" tall tire with a 9.2" tread width. You won't have to do any cutting or beating of the wheel wells.
