Seriously dude, a 45 series tire is a "rubberband?" Have you ever had a tire smaller than a 50 series to be knowledgeable enough to offer an educated opinion? Once again, the size of the rim has NOTHING to do with the size of the sidewall, so I don't see your point.

I have had several trucks with 45 series tires and never had an issue with hauling loads, bending rims, traction, or any of the other "urban legends" that misinformed people like to throw out there.
