Turbo is still in my head, but I think something...

[BBR]

Oh boy. I really really like these. It's funny how a 275 looks gigantic on a 10" wheel.

[BBR]

Whoo hoo the rear tires just showed up. They are just the cheapest 275/60-15's I could find. I will get all 4 tires mounted and balanced tomorrow. ...
