What size doyo have on the drive's?
I would say, stay with the same size you have on the drive's. The difference between the 275vs 295 is the 275 is smaller in diameter.
Just my 2 cents

The 275 will be a Michelin while the 295 will be a not Michelin. The overall diameter difference is only about 1/10" on two brand new tires.
A few years ago I had a mechanic fail my bi annual inspection because I had 275 and 295 tires on the same axle end. The thing that pissed me off was all the tire manufacturers say that if the tires are within 1/4" diameter they are considered matched good enough to be at the same axle end. My odd tires were within 1/4" circumference but that didn't matter to him, had to buy a couple of tires and move a few others around to make him happy.

275-75 is too small. Not really good to drive long time because it affect frame and rear ends position. You can single drive axle and limp to the next available place to fix. Just drive slower.
Where you are sitting?
