Hey Bruce!

How about losing 200 lbs! There's .2 right there. Of course, if I did
that I would weigh all of -40 lbs. Hmm...well that won't work for me I
guess. Maybe remote control???

Seriously, those 255's out front create SERIOUS friction and drag! I got
15x6's I will get rid of when I get my freakin spacers made up for the
15x8's. Slapping a set of 195's up front should be good for at least a
tenth.

Brian
