Re: trend of big wheels / low profile tires doesn't help NM Posted by Justin VanAbrahams [Email] (#32) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Justin VanAbrahams) on Wed, 9 Jul 2014 22:31:05 In Reply to: trend of big wheels / low profile tires doesn't help NM, Trev, Wed, 9 Jul 2014 19:43:20 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I'm not sure that's really a problem. A 1988 c900 has a 195/60-15 tire that has a 4.6" tall sidewall. A 2015 Ford Fusion has a 235/45-18 tire with a 4.2" tall sidewall - not much loss. Although modern tires seem low profile from their aspect ratio, tires have also gotten much wider. I think you'll find sidewall sizes haven't changed much from the '80s on most mass-market cars.
