Big Wheels Suck, Jeep Wrangler vs Nissan Xterra, Reliability in Massachusetts ... - TFLcar.com
My main disagreement with you on this and other videos that I have watched, where you were the one doing the review is summed up in something you said in this video. Everything that I have read about this current trend of using larger, and sometimes ridiculously larger wheels, is just about looks. These larger wheels, take away from mileage, they decrease 0 to 60 times, they cause pickup trucks (that have them) to lower the number of pounds that a truck can both carry and tow. I want an automobile that has the tire and wheel size that will optimize my truck or SUV’s performance in the important areas. Now, that look may appeal to a certain amount or percentage of the population…and I have no problem with those individuals being able to put whatever size tires and wheels that they want on their cars and trucks. But I do have a problem with automobile manufacturers who are intent on making that the only size or sizes available. I don’t want twenty-two inch (Plus) rims on my pickup truck or SUV. The other reviewer asked what size the rims were on the vehicle that they were driving and the engineer told them that they were 22?. When asked if smaller rims were available, the engineer quickly replied that that there were no smaller rim sizes... Source: www.tflcar.com
