Maybe you need more suspension? A 28x11.5-15 Hoosier will offer you more sidewall, and a bit more section width, and a tad more tread, compared to27x10.5-15 you have now, or even the M/T 28x11.5 which is actually has less tread width. The extra inch of sidewall will help out though. Have you tried diffrent amounts of tire pressure?

Like I said a few posts back...this thread is kinda old. I have been using the M/T 275/60/15 DR for a while now and cut low 1.40's all day with them. I have been as low as 1.37 60' with them. I'm gonna try something a little different now with some 15x10 Prostars and a stiff sidewall 28x10.5 ET Drags.

My suspension, however, is just fine. I've got all the goodies.

Is it only 28x11.5-15 Hoosier that has 1" more tread than same MT?
28x13.5-15 has same 11" tread as 28x13.5 MT Streets...

For some reason M/Ts 28x11.5-15s run really narrow compared to other 28x11.5-15s such as Hoosiers. I dont know why.
