It really is a lot of tire for a 2700 lb daily driver. see pic below, if it uploads..


Oh, and on my winter setup, the car floats on the highway, its sketchy. Blizzak WS70 215/45/17.. It's because of the tread compound, not the sidewalls.

Ahh, the sidewall test. We need some quality control inspectors...let me know when she's old enough...then again, we can start her now. Just tell her to bring the Playdoh-meter with her.
