which tire tubes should i run? Havent gotten any responses in the wheel and tire section so I figured you guys would know.
Im running 27x11.5" hoosier qtp bias plys on 15x8 prostars.
Should I run these tubes

they have a 27.5" tire diameter and a minimum 11 in tread width.
or should I use these ones

they have a tire diameter 25.5-28" and a maximum tread width of 11"
Not sure which ones to go with since the first ones my 27" tire is a 1/2" smaller than the minimum tires diameter and the seconds ones my tires are a 1/2" too wide for their maximum tread width?
I figured the first ones would be the better choice since bias plys grow with speed just want some outside opinions

I think you'd be fine with the 2nd tube. The Hoosier 27x11.5 QTP tire is not a true 11.5" wide tire, its actually a 10.0" wide tread width. The tire will end up being abit on the narrow side when its mounted on an 8" rim vs a 10" rim. Just for measure, my Hoosier 28x10.5's are about an inch wider then my 27x11.5 QTP's.
LEFT- The 28x10.5 Stiff Wall Slick ......... RIGHT 27x11.5 QTP
