Default 275/60 15 Question

What is the true width/height of this tire in MT ET Street Radial? I calculate this to be a 28" tire. I can't imagine going from a 26" street tire (275/40 17) to a 28" drag radial without losing some MPH.

Hey Madman, good to hear your selling these and have them in stock. Will these be available on your site or do I need to call. Do you think a 275/60 will be enough tire for my 600 hp nitrous car using a transbrake. My suspension consists of Eibach drag springs, KYB adjustable shocks, boxed rear lower control arms, 1" rear sway bar, adjustable panhard bar, adjustable torque arm, and front swaybar removed.

Anybody have pics of a car with 275/60/15's on? I am thinking of going from a ET Drag 28x10.5 to the 275/60 and wondered how well it fills the wheel well.

What gears are you auto guys running on those 60/15s? Any cammed, stalled, and sprayed autos run them? If so, how are they working out for you all? I been debating if I should stick with the 50s or move up to 60s with the new rear going in and 150 shot.

Thanks

Looks good Fitz... damn I forgot to take a picture when I got home before it got dark. My car has 456 gear with the 60/15 but that is with a t56... My car sits up higher and I really dont like it, I need to either get some shorter springs or remove the spring isolater and see if that sits her down a bit. Any suggestions Fitz? what do you have to make urs ride like that?
