Here we go guys, the unicorn has arrived. A little more meat for the rear end.

Sure looks to be. That damn meaty.
 
is that a 315/60/15?
315/60/15 approximately 30" tall with 94" roll out............. close to 12" tread width and 13" section. will weigh around 38#........
It will be big heavy and sticky, you will need a hellalot of grunt to utilize this bad boy............. I think the 275 record is 4.1o 1/8 mile now with the old style 315 drag radial at 3.94 This new tire has the potential to go 6.0's or 5.90's in the 1320.......

"315"s ?…Are you sure it's not ""325" ? …I'm asking because they already have a "regular" drag radial in 325 size and that they might do the "Pro"s in 325…

Too fat for me:rolleyes: But I think Dennis Kirban was way ahead of his time. Does anyone remember his Buick cartoons and how cool they looked from the rear with big meats on them.........................He saw the future;)
 
they made a 295x65/15 to match the 28x10.5 slick in the ET street.i with they would do that one in a Pro

Kevin, I think they would look "badass" on my car :D (I have a notched frame)…Maybe when the time comes to replace my slicks, I'll get these. Hopefully they'll have a better, stiffer sidewall than the slicks which have to be run at lower pressures (around 12#) which in turn makes the car a little harder to keep in a straight line. I know the fast guys running with the "Pro" radials like to put 17# in them…
take care,

Claude. (y)
 
Picture of sidewall. I was there too. You can see the size on the sidewall but I didn't see any literature on the tire.

The radial pro 275 is pretty close in width to the 295/55. It is about 1" wider than the regular 275/60.
