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 :hmm:

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

Also a seller with zero feedback.

The BF Goodrich tires on the A car were 245?

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.

Just to clue everyone in on the size of these tires, they are 275 60 15's! Yep, about 2" taller than stock. I never asked about the TN plates but the car came with an AZ title as the seller moved to GA from AZ. GA no longer issues titles for cars over 25 years old.
