275/50/15 Drag radial

[mtrsprt]

Anyone running a 275/50/15 Drag radial on these cars? Looking for pictures.

I have a set of 275/60/15's, but not sure if I want to use them because they are gigantic in the wheel wells. I'm looking at something with just a little less sidewall.

My sig pic is with a 275/50/15..

The tire is shorter than stock. If you decide to sell the 275/60, let me know. My tires are in need of replacement.

Do you happen to have any other photos? How much shorter than stock? Not much at all I assume?

Nitto 555R's listed as 25.7"
MT ET Street radial 26.1" (Screwed if caught in the rain)
BFG DR 2. 26.1

I have a brand new set of 275/60/15 Hoosiers not mounted, but for shipping to FL, it would be cheaper for you to buy from a wholesaler.

Love that picture. Could you post up a couple more, or send a few to: [email protected]?

Thinking a 275/50/15 Nitto is going to be my choice.

If you plan on running them at the track you'll need the height of the 275/60's to keep you out of 5th.

Either way, I am going to have to shift to 5th.

Missed the procharged part there, whoops. But still, I'd stick with the 60's, even if its just for more sidewall to absorb shock.

Normally, I would also, but this is primarily a 95% street toy. So I am more focusing on appearance and driving preferences/wear/rain etc...

Appearance wise the 275/60 looks words of better than the tiny 275/50. Performance is better as well. Rain, well I hope you're joking when you typed that. Any type of drag radial + rain = totaled car. My brother totaled his car on MT radials only going 25mph in rain.

On MT DR's I believe it. This is why Nitto 555R's are my choice'. They do very well in the rain as long as your responsible with them. Had them on my 700rwhp 99 GT, and I had zero issue getting home at speed limit speeds in the wet.

Looks like I've decided on the 275/60. The Nitto runs a little shorter, so I think it will work out well.
