Default tire question?

Right now on the back of my coupe there are 10" draglite rims (it looks like, b/c there deep dish) with 295/50/15 futura GLS super sport.

Any idea how tall these tires are? Are they the standard 26" tall? Because I have 373 gears (seller said) But it doesnt seem the same as my last mustang. I can go like 60-65 at 2k rpm iirc.

And what drag radial will be the most similar in size to this tire? Because i dont want the 275/50/15 (too small) and i dont want the 275/60/15, not wide enough.

I hope you've done the proper speedometer corrections for your clearly larger than stock tires.
