when you get the money i have some MT drag radials for sale, 275/50/15s same size as you got, only have 3 runs on them and 150 street miles, they are like brand new 90-95% tread left...i got them from VSI for $320...Rob can swap them and rotate them for free too, i was thinking like $275, so savings around $50...could always throw them in the closet too cause you will probably need some real soon...
