Well said... I agree wholeheartedly. Personally anything larger than 17" look like clown shoes. Even back "in the day" I always liked L60-15's better than N50's 'cause I thought there wasn't enough sidewall height on the N50's. So it's really the lack of tire sidewall, and not so much the wheel size.

But then again I am an old fart.... old dogs and new tricks ya know.
