Default Anyone Running the Mickey Thompson 295/55/15 Tires?

Couldn't find anything in the searches for this Section or the Suspension but curious if anyone's running these tires? I'm about to get them as a holiday gift and wanted to see what other GTO members thought about them.

The Drag Radials, they're almost 28" tall and 11" of tread so it's a winner for the GTO's wheel well.

I might have to go bigger like you guys. I just put on Nitto street slicks 275/50R15s and I can't get them to hook up if I nail it at 60+. But I still love the torque.
