    I agree with pretty much all that was said here. Good information.

    Think about this for a minute. A low profile Tire is closer to the rim. So you are going to get more of a rough ride, and you have more of a probability of damaging your rim depending on what you hit.

    I would not want them on my car and I would not want them on my truck either.

    I bought a brand new 90 Cutlass Calais, quad 4, wide lo pro tires. Went out for dinner with friends, tires rubbed wheel wells, on corners, Lol. Later when I replaced them, I put a “ touring” tire. Narrower and taller. Car ride like a dream. Better than new. Those original wide tires even made it shudder on shifts sometimes. But they looked cool!!!
