    FFS, I was just looking at that ad and never noticed the drag radials!

    I was more perplexed by the seller being in middle Georgia, selling a car with Tennesse tags clearly in the middle of an Arizona desert

    I don't always drive cars, but when I do, I prefer DeLoreans

    No-one is to stone anyone, even, and I want to make this absolutely clear, even if they do say "carburetor"

    I'd guess 255s or even 265s. The BTTF car had 245s... it didn't look as cartoonish as this car does.

    My VIN:    Banged your VIN'S mom

    I have seen 255's mounted on the rear and they don't look half bad...a bit meaty, but not bad. Where this guy made his mistake is he didn't get the aspect ratio right. He is probably running a 255/60 or a 255/65...in other words, too much sidewall.

    And yes those appear to be drag radials, but at a closer look those are Nitto NT's...I had a set of NT 555's on my Talon and it was one of the best tires I ever had.

    +1. i love beefy tires on the rear, but the aspect ratio on these particular tires dont look quite right on a D.
