Was going to go to 16 or 17" rims and low profile tires, but decided to keep the 15" rims for the big tire look. I had Dunlop GT's for the last 3 years..switched to Firestone Firehawk Indy 500. 255/60/15 front & 275/60/15 on the rear. What a difference..took it for a long run yesterday and everything was so much better I almost don't believe it.
I would recommend this tire to anyone.

how do you like the 275-60's on the back? Are they considerably taller and do they rub anywhere? I was considering getting the 275's but thought they might be too tall compared to the front, do you have any pictures?? I also have the firehawk indy 500's and have nothing but good to say about them.

The tires don't rub and they due allow for a better launch, but I still can't get on it from the getgo...to much HP (500). This size was on the car when I bought it 3 yrs ago. Sent you a pic if you want more just let me know. The Dunlops made for a scary ride..had to be really careful from a stop into a turn. The Firestones are a great inprovement.

Alan,

Great idea on placing wider tires on the back. I like the look too. Are the 275's able to fit on your stock wheels or do you have aftermarket wheels?

I have after market Western Wheels 7" width in the front and 8.5" in the rear. These are old racing mags...have to glue the weights on. They are 15" dia.
