You got some great treads with indestructible sidewalls.

Yes! The last set of tires wasn't bad -- no tire other the kind on monster trucks could have survived the pothole I slammed into.

But I thought you all would get a kick out of hearing that I received an urgent call from my tire man today asking me to bring the car back in because he was concerned that his mechanic had not given me a matching set of tires.

I ran out to the garage to look and sure enough, there was one odd ball tire. LOL! After all of that talk of replacing all 4 tires for aesthetics, and I didn't even notice!

TSgt, thank you for explaining the physics of wide vs. low profile tires. You gave me terrible flashbacks of my SATs --questions like, if two cars with wheels of different circumferences travel the same distance, will one set of wheels rack up more rotations . . . and what time will the train arrive in New York? LOL!

All of that talk of little wheels also reminded me of my dimwitted neighbor who put those little things on his ATV. Why would one do that?
