I think its really cool. I wanna put a HUGE motorcycle motor in it and  make 
it wheelie until it flips over backwards.

Yeah, they WILL be expensive. I'm just looking at alternatives to the 
run-of-the mill 135/15's (I think when no aspect ratio is specified, it is 
assumed that the tire is an 80 sidewall). These tires are just what I'm 
looking for in terms of height vs. width.
Besides, nobody uses them on bugs... Gotta be the first on the block!

The 'early-60's-drag-race-fugitive' is coming along slowly, due to lack of 
funds/time. I have night shool after work for 5 hours, 2 days a week, and 
Band rehersal for 6 hours 3 nights a week. That leave me some weekends- but 
I have to do the normal housework on those days!
Calgon, take me away!

Thanks for calling for prices, buddy!
