I am looking for a dragradial for 15x8" rims 275 wide but shorter to accomadate for my high gears? how much shorter are the 50 series, than the 60's?

The difference is 26.1 diameter vs. 28" diameter

The 50 series will not hook up as well as the 60 series. The taller sidewall flexes more and allows the tire to hook up better.
