When I was ordering tires it was hard to find comparison pics of these popular sizes. I was lucky enough to have both tires available. Rim is the same 15x8 4" backspacing centerline qualifiers.
The 275 is a tough looking tire but there are some down sides in my opinion
1) if your rear trailing arm bushings and or body mounts are not up to snuff chances it will rub. I havent done mine to say that they wont rub either. I didnt want to trim or roll 1/4 But mine were rubbing and cutting Iinto the tire.2) its def a heavier tire. You can feel it when taking off. Def more mass to rotate. Only real performance mods I have is cold air intake 3"down pipe into 3" duals.
The 255 is a great tire and had no problems rubbing. It doesnt have the super tough look but its not a bad stance either. With these tires im able to drop the ass down because I dont rub and I can now also carry a spare.
First pics are the 275 60 bfg drag radial the other pics are 255 60 mt drag radials. You can tell diff bc mickey thomsons have no tread
