My old BFG DR's (315x35x17") are wearing out, (and ancient too). These might be worth trying.
BTW, sorry, my typo. But your #, 1(877) GET POWR still gets a telephone sex site

You can also call them at (954) 782-6700. Don't know why the toll free won't work for you but I know this one will too.

The extra sidewall height on the 275's would be more important for linear grip than the extra width. (These are drag tires, not road racing).
Notice drag cars?
Not abnormally wide, but they are very tall.....
