	you sure 'bout that?  last year at my one and only 1/4 mile attempt, i
pulled off 2 consecutive 15.77 runs with a set of 205-50-15s.  these
rubbers had a bit more chewy tread than my regular street tires.  these
were dismal times as i was expecting at _least_ 15.00.  i got vexed with
my times, threw on my daily driving, 195-50-15, nearly exhausted tires,
and ran a 15.53.  not a big difference, but enough to make me think that
size does matter :)
