I would do a 275/60/15 ET street radial pro, those new ones are supposed to be kick ***, plus with that gear etc you'll want a 28" tire.

i am currently using a 26x10.5 et street bias on my car. had to add rim screws and that will stop the rim from spinning inside the tire. and it was doing that with a 1.9xx 60ft. but get a bias ply for the front as well. if youre wanting to run a 28" tire then i would suggest it least 4:30 gears. if not and with like a 4:10 gear u can do the 26" or a 27" tall tire. i wil probably try going back to a hoosier qtp once my m/t are done for.

Yeah, the M6 will do better with the BIAS MT ET Street, i guess since you wont be street driving to much that'd be better. As for the sportsman, i think the S/R is worth the money as they wont have a tendency to leak down and they handle MUCH better than the classic.

Also if you do the BIAS ET Street, i would suggest the 28x10.50x15. Thats the exact tire i had in mind for that car. Or even an 11.50 wide if they offer it for a 15 inch wheel. I have CCW's so i run the 28x11.50x16
