Bad Tire choice?
 
I got a unbelievable deal on a set of 255/60/R15. I put the tires on and they fill the wheel up so nicely they look great. But they are a tall tire and I'm worried about loosing to much of my gearing (3.73) what do you guys think?

That is a 26 inch tire which is what comes stock on 5.0's.

stock tire size is 225-60-15 which is 25.6" tall the 255-60-15 is about 27" tall. 3.73 with the taller tires would be like 3.55's with the stock tires.

BFGoodwrench lists the overal diameter as 27.1" but they definetly help my launch. I got the tires for $75 canadian (about $130 american) brand new and not blems so I can't complain. What do you guys run for radials (if you ever do run radials).
