New tire pics Bought a set of radials for daily driving the car.
255/60/15 BFG Radial TA's
They are 27 inches tall and fill out the wheelwell nice with the convos.
Pics aren't the greatest view of the tires but you'll get the idea
Just a reminder, be careful with new tires LOL! I went to merge on the highway and IGNITED the tires for about 60 feet in third at 70mph.
I think I should have done a little burnout with them first to "cure" them

thanks
These 27 inch radials drive awesome. (same as the borrowed 245s I had before)
Do you run skinnies full time? I can do 85-90mph on the highway without any issues at all with these tires and skinnies. I drive 150 miles to the track each way.
