Sorry for beating a dead horse about tire size

An 8" rim in the 275 is a bit narrow for cornering, like with a street car..
For long tread life, you will have to drop the tire pressure to get the tread flat, so you don't burn off the centers.This is fine in a straight line. But if or when you get down to 24psi, the car corners kindof funny. The tires roll over onto the sidewalls and the inside tread barely has any pressure on it, and the back of the car heels over like a ship at sea. This causes the back of the car to steer to the outside of the turn, and if you come in to the turn too hot and are not ready for it... there is a good chance that with gas applied,you will spin out of control. So practice first, on a deserted parking lot, with no cops around.
8.5s are a lil better,
but those tires really want 9.2s, which there is no such thing... but there are 9s and 10s available.
I used the 8.5s and just lived with it, until I got my 295 on 10s combo worked out. Which the 10s are still too narrow, but I got to liking the roll-over, at the no more than 24psi, that I have to run, and the 294s have enough sideways rubber that I no longer spin out...
