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.
