found a good deal on a some drag radials thurs night at the dragstrip....but not sure if they will work...

I want to use my stock wheels, right now they have 235/60 r15, the tires he's trying to sell me are Nitto 275/50/ r15

will these work or will it look stupid since the front tires are 60's...thanks, John

Can you elaborate a little bit for someone slow like me?

Is bogart the company? Is bogart the model name?

What size are they?

Thanks

Other than the spedo being off, what are the disadvantages of using a 275/60/15? I've noticed that most people go with the 275/50/15 instead.

Odometer will be off.

This all can be corrected with a speedo gear change.

some cars need the taller tire to finish the 1/4 in 3rd gear
