Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

the Mickey Thompson site says the make a 15 tire with a 13" width that will go on a 10-13" rim, that is certainly bigger than the 295-50-15s from BFG. It is also a pretty tall tire too. No shorter than 60 aspect ratio by the looks.

Those look like what we used to call N-50-15s.

N 50 15 as Kern says, mine are 390/45/15 close to the same size330379880_737034387915290_4628883355710157470_n.jpg

Yes, Mickey Thompson Indy Profile N50 15.

They were being made back in about 2010. I had planned on buying a couple of sets, but by the time I got around to ordering them (Summit had them I think?) They were all gone. I wish they would make them again.

Thanks guys. It looks wicked! Charlie your car is the bomb!

I wish I could find a tire close to that for 17" rims.

Man...when I was first coming of driving age in the early 80s, if you had those on your car, you were the MAN.

N-50 were on my Charger. which I think was 12" wide & 32" tall. I still have them & could always measure them but they are buried under tons of other Tires. Mine actually stuck out a inch or 2 outside upper wheel well lip. LEON.
