Default 275/60's vs. 325/50's height difference

Is there a significant difference in overall height between the two? I was running 325/50's before, now I'm thinking of trying out the 275/60's, a little narrower in width, but 5 lbs. lighter per tire.

They are pretty identical in tire height. You won't notice any difference in overall diameter visually. The 275/60 is 28.0" and the 325/50 is 27.9"

Also, you can use this site to compare sizes if you are curious in the future, helped me out alot when i was shopping for tires and wanted to try to keep the ABS. So i needed fronts and rears to match diameter.

The 275/60 is 27.3 inches tall. NOT 28 inches tall as they claim.
