In addition, the 275/40s have the car reving at 2800 rpm at 60 mph. Too high for a 3 speed auto with 3.42 gears.

I know what you mean, I have 285/40/17s on the back of mine they are 26 " tall and it's not enough either. The 255/50 would be 27" tall and at least some are being made. I don't think anyone is building a 255/55 so that is another size to lobby for. I'd like the 255/50s up front and 285/45 out back, but until they make some it's not an option.
