I see that selection is pretty limited in these sizes nowadays. Are the goodyear eagles in these sizes any good?

I'm not sure. Pep boys used to have them in the 295 sizing in the Futura Super Sport line. Pep Boys went out of business here in Wichita, though...

The 295/50-15 is available in Cooper Cobra, Firestone Firehawk Indy 500, Mickey Thompson S/T Radial and Mastercraft Avenger GT (an off brand Summit Racing sells). I haven't seen BF Goodrich or Goodyear tires in this size lately. If a company would make a 275/55-15 it would be perfect for me since a 275/60 is too tall for what I want so I run 295/50s on the rear of my Satellite.

The 295/60/15 is 29" tall, which seems like a nice height, I think the alternative for that height is a 255/70/15.
The 295/60/15 looks like a nice size tire. I wish they would make them. The 255/70/15 might be too skinny in my opinion.

I'd be interested in buying those 295/60 BFG's if you ever decide to sell. 
As far as I know, the only 295/60's available new are bias ply Hoosier Quick Times. I currently run 295/65 BFG Drag Radials, but was also looking for a more traditional radial tire for extended street duty. 275/60's are too small for my application.

If they dont fit or look right under my 72RR I will keep you in mind bro...Your car looks killer with the Magnums and big fat blackwalls all around...Goes real nice with the color combo on your ride..

May I suggest Mickey Thompson 28 x 12 S/R Radial...
Yes that does work out to basically the same size as a 295/60/15, but summit lists those tires at 211 bucks each! Nice size and available, but for a lot more $ than a 295/50/15 street radial.

Yokohama AVID ST, Firestone Indy 500, Goodyear Eagle GT, BFG Radial TA and if you want a sticky tire there are TA drag radials in that size.
I've tried all the first 3 tires.
The BFs are the best looking tire, nice clean sidewall. Clean up nice, shine up nice and worth mentioning since many of us take pride in cleaning up and showing off our cars but the fact is these are the worst tires built today for any type of performance or rain driving.
The Indy's are a decent tire too. Pretty average in every catagory but a bit noisey for a quiet car. Totally not a problem on a musclecar. These are super impressive in the rain. Not quite an accurate gauge but I could stretch the front shocks during takeoff with the Indy's in that rain.
The Yoke's. For a relatively cheap tire they are one of the smoothest, most quiet tire. Mine look like almost new after 30,000km of spirited driving. Again not quite the gauge most here are used to but I've went 2.0 60's with a stock 360 truck. These are the first regular tire I've had on my 5 speed truck I can go wide open throttle in first and hook.
69 Super Bee, 93 Mustang LX, 04 Allure Super

Where did you end up getting the 295/60's? I have a pair of Dunlop 295/50's that are the perfect width, but too short for my Coronet.

Cool. I appreciate that.
285/70/15's are another option for me, but I cannot see paying a bunch of $$$ for those from Coker Tire. (We always ran those on our '64 Savoy while on the street.)
Here's another shot of the 295/65's. Those extra-long wheel studs will be going bye-bye over the winter...to be replaced with some shorter studs attached to some Strange axles.
