I stumbled across those Gripmax tires on ebay the other day.
Looks to be a clone of a BFG Radial TA tread pattern.
I think if they had cloned the font a little better (and called them Radial T/A, too) they'd sell a bunch more of them.

BFG discontinued this 285 70 15 size. This company got the molds and recently started pushing them on ebay...
They are on. They don't completely fit yet.

If I had to identify only one Fusie model as my favorite, the ’70 Polara* likely would be it. I just love the taillights.
*The iPhone spellcheck tags “Polara” as a typo, but not “Camry.” Sad sign of the times!

Your "fit yet" part scares me.

It shouldn't!
In 70 they increased the track width slightly. I have a 65-69 C body 8.75 to swap in and that should bring the tires in a bit, Away from the quarter panel. I always wanted to see what ratio this 985 case has in it and replace it with 4.30 or 4.56 gears.
Then replace the sagged out springs. I think they are 5 or 6 leaf and I have a few sets of 7 leaf springs laying around to have re-arched.

Tall tires need the gearing. 3:91s would act like 3.23s with this tire size.
