Default Which tire for my setup?

I'm going to be ordering tires soon and I can't decide which tire would be better for my setup. I'm trying to decide between the MT 275/60/15s or MT 275/50/15. I have a cam only m6 with a 9" and 3.89s making just over 400 rwhp. I'm thinking the 275/60/15 will be too much tire but I'm not sure. Any info or opinions would really help.

It depends on what you plan on doing to the car. If your going to stay all motor and only have 3.89 gear then go with the 26in. Im cam only with a 4000 stall and I run a 26 in tire just because i have a 3.73 gear. Now if i stay all motor Im going to switch up to a 4.10 gear so i can run a 28in tire.

choose the diameter based on top speed in your desired gear what you are trapping. 115 in sig with gears and some extra revs just in case.
