was it a VW?
A lot of those guys buy wide rims so they can have a fat lip, but can't really fit wide tires without crazy rubbing, so they buy skinnier tires and it looks all stretched and :ghey:. It's Euro.

Makes you last longer...kinda like a cock ring with added benefits of not knocking the chick up.
