Default 26 or 28 inch tire?

Gitting pro stars and going with the MT DRs and dont know if i should go with the 275/50s or the 275/60s? I will be running 4.10 gears and I realize the 28inch will make the overall ratio lower. will the 26 inch tire be more likely to spin than the 28 or will there be no real differance?
Thanks, Dane

depends on gearing and trap speed

for your combo i would stick with 26's. itll let you go through the traps right at about 122-124 at 6600 in 4th

the 28's youll lose et because of the the effective ratio

4.10 gears and you are trapping 113, 26" will be perfect.

What size rims are you running? I am doing the same thing and was not sure of the exact size rim would to buy. Will 15's fit over the rear disk brake system?
