Re: 275 60 15 tires

They dont make that size, i just found some 265-50-15 on tiresbyweb.com. They are cooper cobra gts. They are $170.00 each. I'm running 295 50's on the rear. I couldnt find a tire the same height as the 295's. 255-60 were to tall and looked silly.

Re: 275 60 15 tires

Hey fellas.... Figured I'd chime in here since I work at a tire shop.
In the 275/50/15 size you are really limited these days. You are looking at Nitto nt555 Drag radials, and the BFG Drag Radials. Both of em are street legal, and not true drag slicks, but they definetely aren't all season tires by any means.

As far as the 275/60/15's go, you've got a few choices that were already mentioned I believe, the BFG t/a's, the Cooper Cobras, and the Goodyear Eagle GT 2's. I have a few old school rat rod customers who swear by those Eagles, they love em'.

I wouldn't put Goodyears on my mother-in-law's car. I've never had a good set of Goodyears.

I have a set on the Circuit Rider w/o any issues yet but...I want to go old school so I am going to buy Goodrich TA Radials.

Re: 275 60 15 tires

All the Goodyears I've ever had, and anyone I know personally that have had them, couldn't get them to balance out properly, didn't ride well, and made lots of road noise.
