We love our cars as much as we like them and its sort of that feel i think. Its imprinted in our minds to get excited with fat tyres and alloys. Big Fat tyres always look gud on cars and hey it also should compliment the car though. Not like Sam Fox mind u and u know what i meant right .


Unless and until the manufacturer has done some real compromise in quality and cost cutting. I dont think car tyres need a genuine upsizing.
Maybe, in the entry level and mid sized cars it may have some real benefit.
