New shoes for my turbo 928
These were on clearance at TireRack, couldn't help my self.
Went with 245/35-18 front, 295/30-18 rear Toyo R888 Road-race tires, trying to get a wee-bit of traction under 100mph  Boost is at 6.5psi, turning up boost, re-tuning, turning up boost, etc.  With the new sticky tires, still spin hard in 1st but hooking in 2nd now in this 100-degree heat: yay!

Looks nice.
I personally liked the black fikse's I think they were???? They were it, but thats me. Watch out for the curb rash, looks like they cone out nice and far past the tire, ouch... Man what I would give for a half hour behind the wheel of that thing at 6.5psi, whew, good times... |

@ 6.5 i should be pushing 430-450rwhp: running a bit too rich at 11.2:1 on-boost for the upper RPM's. Will re-tune & turn up boost again this weekend.
Wish it wasn't 100 outside...that's no fun, but at least I can stick it a bit now: stickier tires, hotter pavement, road-race tires = sore neck
