Default ET STREET 275/50/15 or 275/60/15?

I am currently running a set of 255 et street radials on 16 in rims. I have a pair of 15x8 draglites that have the 27in et street biasply tires that I really dont like the feel of when driving. The 255 grip well, but with the 4.10 gears I am comming close to my rev limit at the top end esp if I use N2O. The 27in tire gave me a bit more rpm. The question is is the 50 or 60 better for my car? Will the 28in tire fit ( car has the strano lowering springs)?

If you are going to spray it and run 4.10's I would def run the 28" tall tires unless you turn your motor to 7K or past that.

If you are running the 27" tall tire with the lowering springs I think the 28" should be fine.
