i'm running 10 in cragar streetlites with mickey thompson sportsman 29x12.5x15 but i have only four inches of drop. these rear tires have a 10 in tread and a 13 in section. for your 6 in rear drop check out mickey thompsons sportsman Pro series. they have street tread, wrinkle like a slick and the 26x12.5x15 has an 11.9 in section which should fit nicely with a 6 in drop.
