Need to replace my tires currently have front 245/60/15, rear 255/60/15. I want to fill the gap in the rear, anyone have 235/70/15 or have tried 255/70/15 ?

I run the Mickey Thompson "Sportman S/T" 275/60/15 rear with 4 1/2" offset and 245/60/15 on the front. I'm pleased with the way they fit and look.
