Re: Tire Aspect ratio vs. Price, Performance, and Ride quality
There is no advantage to larger wheels/shorter tires on trucks. It is simply a trend for appearance. a truck rides so much better with some tire between the rim and road, as well as the rim is better protected from bad spots in the road. 15-16" diameter ties have been handling loads, road handling, and anything that's been thrown their way for over half a century just fine. Sizes were changed to roll with the gangster look and it has taken over. Now all tires cost way too much since tire companies have to produce so many different sizes in shorter runs
