Goodyear Eagle fitment

[Bluesman]

I just got back from Roger Kraus Racing and picked up some
new meats. Some of you are running on 15X12 rear w/5"
backing spacing. 15X10 front w/5" backspacing. I had BFG
radial T/A's. 295/50R15 rear and 265/50R15 fronts. I wanted a
softer compound tire, so this is what I came up with:

Before:
rear = 26.5" diameter. 13.0" total width
front= 25.0" diameter. 12.0" total width

After:
rear
as advertised: Goodyear Eagle 2547
26.5"X10-15 Cobra
actually:
27.0" dia. 13.5" total width

front:
as advertised: Goodyear Eagle 2546
26.5"X8-15 Cobra
actually:
26.0" dia. 12.0" total width

The shape of the new tire is a lot different than the BFG's.
I am not talking about the tread pattern. The Eagle's kind of
drop flat after the tread width and then swell out to the 13.5".
I noticed in the past with the 295's that during very hard cornering (Jag IRS) I got a small but noticable rub coming from
the very top edgle of the inside tread. It would put a rub mark
about where your upper left back, lower left shoulder would be.
These new tires, although are 1/2" taller total or 1/4" radial, don't seem to rub. Man, do they look sweeeet!
