John, this is the equivalent to a 28 x 10.5 slick I've been told, so I guess racers requested them for an equal swap. The 275/60 is narrower on tread, the 295/65 is 30" tall but almost the same on tread as the 295/55.

with teh popularity of the 275 and X275 classes, its odd they are going there. i will admit the 275 looks small compared to these.

John, I agree. But remember there are a bunch of 10.5 classes that usually stick to a 28 inch tall tire and I'm sure M/T got a few requests for these.

Your car looks like it's pretty low in the back from what I can see in your sig pic. You should post up some better pics of it. Mine sits pretty low and I'd be interested to see how similar our ride hieghts are and if these tires work out for you.

I think I found my next tire as well.

I have MT ET Streets now (27x10.5x15) Going to a 28" Drag Radial and I think this is what I want... Thank You for sharing with us... Car looks amazing with that tire/wheel setup.
Hell! The whole car looks great.
