Default 325 or 275 mt radial?

Looking to order a set of 15x10 prostars, just not sure what tire to go with. I'm looking at the 275/50/15 or the 325/50/15... i know the 325's will last me longer in terms of handling power, but who has which and how do they fit? on a T/A...thanks all!!

I have 325-50/15 mt's and they took a lot of work to make fit.
Do a search and you will find.

275/60 or 275/50? i believe the 50 is only 26.1" so it'd fit with no modification


how do the 275's look on a 15x10 rim? pics?

the 275/50 is a 26 in tall tire. the 275/60 is 28 in tall tire and the 325/50 is a 28 in tall tire. the 275/50 fits with no mod. the 275/60 requires some beating and would reccommend rolling the fender lip. the 325/50 requires a lot of everything to fit.
