I'm using the 275/60R15 Nitto NT 555R Drag radials for the street, rated at 27.76" inflated with a 11.1" overall width measured on a 8" rim.
On the street I run them with 28 lbs pressure.

Current front tire is the Cooper Cobra Radial G/T 245/60-15

( Old picture here is with the previous Firestone 215/65R15 tire on the front

I changed to the larger Cooper tire for it's larger footprint to aid in breaking.
