Default Glad I have 45 series tires

Yet again, 45 Series tires saved my new rims. While leaving the gas station, i left a wide outlet from the driveway b/c of the way I was angled. I made the turn and the tire just caught the edge of the curb and made this ping sound. That was the sound of the slight impact of the tire on the curb.

So I would always suggest nothing lower then 45 series for a daily driver cause you never know what you'll run into.

Mistakes can always happen

50 owns 45, i used to have 205/40/17's and they sucked major ass. I've NEVER had a regret with going down to a 205/50/15 with my rotas

:werd: I was glad that when I got new tires for my 16's that I got 45 series tires. There were a couple of instances where I wasn't aware of the road conditions and hit some road imperfections and that I was glad that I have more cushioning for my wheels.
