    Back in the day (20 years ago) I ran BF TAs as wide as 275s on the rear basket wheels.

        255's are the biggest you can find now, or the et street 295's for track use only.

            for a street tire you can run a 255-50-16 it's a bit taller and wider than a 245. The 295-50-16 MT ET Street is common for a track on drag radial.

                all sorts of sizes for DR's, 16's the 2 i know of are 255-50's and the 295-50's. just look on the sidewall and you will find the size.
