Default 275/60 or 295/55

For all you guys who run a mickey Thompson drag radial, im running the fbody specific 15x10 racecars, stock length rear. Do you guys prefer the 275/60 or the 295/55 tires and any rubbing issues?

i would go 275 60 with the 6speed. I got a auto and im trying to decide which way i want to go. I pulled a 1.62 60ft on 275 50 nitto but im at the point to go taller. I will be watching this thread. MT is deffinately my next tire. You prob could run either and hook good.

I run the MT ET Street Drag Radial in a 275/50/15 on my M6 H/C/I WS6. Works great and no fitment issues at all. You can fit up to a 325 on there with just the BFH mod. Many run that big of a tire on here.
