Now that I have them, only one choice in my opinion.

Hey Dave, what sizes are the Billboards? I know they'll be in inches but i can convert.

Chook, I don't know how well a 245 will fit in the front of a DRB - its a big tyre, but you will want bigger than a 205 up front.

What sizes are on there now? Going bigger could mean a rim change as well - keep that in mind.

Even though the Avons are pricey, you are driving an expensive, light, and powerful car. I went with them because I didn't want to spend all this money and effort only to cut costs where it matters most. The Billboards are good tires and really cool looking, but they aren't DOT approved and I didn't want to take the chance that I wouldn't be covered in case of an accident.

That's pretty much where I'm at. I want the Billboard look, but not the "possible" headaches...

So I've gone Avons too... well they're currently in transit.
I'll then have a set of mounted, but unused 15' Yokos to that will sit as spares unless anyone wanted them.
