Default Brown was here today...

Brown dropped off some Nitto 555R tires today...

V rated and are supposed to last up to 15,000 miles on the street

The rears are massive, just quickly with the tape 325/50VR15's measure a bit over 12" wide at the tread and are just under 28 inches tall.

The Front's are 10 inches wide and 26 inches tall 275/50VR15.

I'll snap some pics tomorrow.

Nitto offers some interesting sizes. I've got a set of theirs on my truck because they were one of the VERY few who had the size I wanted.

I have Nitto 555r all around - 285/18's in the back. As far as traction... I don't like them as much compared to BFG drag radials but I couldn't hook those either. You'll prob have better luck with your setup and tire size
