Default The new shoes are on
Havent had time to take a pic lately - to much army/family stuff going on.

But here they are, 165r15's up front and 275's in the back. I love it so far, launches like a beast with even chirping them. Brake till 3k then let her rip.

It handles just fine much to my surprise. Id read so many horror stories about having no control. Even in the rain they do just fine. Yeah, its not a car you take through twisties nice and fast. But thats why i have a motorcycle
