My first set I had 26" (275/45/17) and they were useless (spinning) and way too small which made my truck look stupid. I have 28" (295/45/17) now and they are a lot better (hardly spins, if at all) still a little small for my liking but I'm limited with a 17" rim. FWIW I'm a highway roller only. No opinion on dig racing.

I run a 315/60r15 ET Street Radial. I like them because they drive better on the street, they seem to last longer too. Before I switched to the radial I'd go through 2 sets of ET streets a summer and now with the street radial I only go through one set. I may switch back to the bias ET street, they seem to hook better for me.
