Same size tire on my car now, M/T Drags, with a prokit.

Its not so much the launch thats rough on them, its driving around. Getting in and out of drive ways that will really cut up a nice set of tires. I rolled my outer fender lip carefully, almost flush straight up and down. Still rubs some but doesnt cut the tire at least.

My car is lowered in the rear with hotchkis springs. I think they are around an 1" lower. I drove my car twice before I noticed the 275/60's started getting cut up. I'm waiting on the fender rolling tool to come in the mail.

Other than having to cut off the bump stops, my 275/60/15 MT DR's fit fine. I haven't rolled the fenders.

"With the correct wheel" I agree. In the real world though I had to cut off the bumpstops to get them to clear using my 15x10 7.5" offset Prostars. They look great though.
