No, but he's undoubtedly in for a fiery, flaming death running a car tire (NMS tire for BigAl  )  |

Something in a Mack Truck Range or Peterbuilt Tire Class I would guess.
Nice Choice.

I was thinking the same thing. One of the new series tires truckers run on the rear in place of the dual-tire setup most have. Expensive choice for sure  |

Havent seen a super single with the center tread line yet, Mickey thompson makes some pretty big drag radial sizes that have a directional tread to them. Maybe one of those???

Just think of the strain a tire that large puts on the drive line. Ouch! |

He sent it via his iphone but did he take the picture or just forward it. I'm thinking photo shopped.

It wasn't a forwarded message. He said he snapped it going into Portland. My buddy is not a motorcycle person. He just took it for my convenience. |

If it IS Photoshopped, they did an excellent job! It is technically correct from what I see. Drive chain correct, linkages match, license plate proportional, and shadowing is correct. It's a real picture IMO. |
