Default 15x8 drag wheels=what tire size

What is the best tire size to run on these.
275/50

Iam thinking about the MT drag radial.

60 will be 30", you will need to hammer there for sure.
Here is a pic of a 275/50 if that helps, same 15x8 rim

275/50 is a 26" tall tire.
275/60 is a 28" tall tire.

No need to make the leap to the 28s unless you can't hook the 26s.
