I'd say the standard 1/4" on the short spans and 1/2" on the long ones. It's hard to isolate the noise because its pretty loud, I didn't let it run long because it kind of freaked me out.

The Mickey's are less than the BFG's and have a higher speed rating as well with a slightly more modern tred pattern.

118mph vs. 112mph, probably indicative of a slightly softer/better compound.

Btw the car is bone stock with around 7000 miles on it. In recent years it has only left the garage once a year for inspection.
