I would posit that the tire circumference and width have more to do with accelerating mechanical wear than diameter of the rim.

[T-Bone Texan]

I agree with your posit.

I find your posit to possess merit.

As an aside: I use those rims as an indicator of who to avoid on the road.

It is indicator of an alien culture that does not share my values, in this case the values of driving like a human being who is aware that they can kill somebody with their car.
