Ok, maybe I haven't fully explained why I forgive the total lack of any cooking ability: besides being a doctor soon and doubling our income, she doesn't mind my motorsports addiction (I'm going to Le Mans this year with my buddies), she parties like a rock star, and most importantly - she's hot.

Yup, definitely the type of couple I see when I'm home and go out in the city.
Back to tires, I took the opportunity to bitch at Toyo today for not making more sizes in 17 & 18 inch rim diameters. If you care, feel free to do the same at http://www.toyo.com/ They are the f*cking spec tire for the Speed GT series, and they only make 3 sizes in 18's??? (and a whopping 5 sizes in 17's)

My gf thought I was nuts until I got her to start competing too. Now she's ready to start buying more race tires for the car and she gets mad when other women beat her

I would guess the drag tire would have a softer sidewall to "Crinkle" somewhat and you'd need a stiff sidewall for cornering.

Paul at Radial Tire in Silver Spring, MD (who I spoke with today as you will soon find out Peter) thinks I will be able to fit 255/40/17 Toyo RA1's on my 8" wheels* up front, and is willing to test fit them for me if I drive up there.
