    On my Mirada I have BF Goodrich 295/15/50, and they were about 11 inches wide, but do not know about the diameter.

    The Hoosier street radials are hard to beat on the street. Don't get the drag radials as they are too soft. They have a much more open tread and work much better when it is wet. Still any really big wide tire like this can be a handfull when it is wet. Just be carefull.

    I don't know about the screws. The street radials may or may not seal. They only run about 20-25 psi maybe if everything is clean and free of burrs they will seal. I'd hate to try fix-a-flat but it's a possibility. You are not really supposed to run tubes in these but I would try it as a last resort.

    My Hoosiers don't leak on 14" Convo Pros but I don't have screws either. As it turns out the Goodrich TA leak a bit on the front however. Not much but they take topping off every couple weeks.

    good luck
