SO THE ANSWER IS OFF COURSE NOT
for u, maynot, for many, the answer is YES
AND YOU ALSO DONT LIVE IN USA THAT YOU ARE THROWING SO MUCH STORIES FROM YOURSELF REGARDING LARGER RIMS
im in pakistan and using larger than standard rims since 2001.
THEY ALSO HAVE BETTER HANDLING BUT THEY LOSE TRACTION VERY EARLIER ON ROADS AS COMPARED TO THE STANDARD RADIALS
how come handling is good, but traction is less?
ur uncle prolly was talkin abt steering responce and traction, both usually improves with larger rims.
THEY ARE VERY BUMPY IN RIDE BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE SUFFICIENT AIR IN THEM TO WITHSTAND THE BUMPS AND JERKS THAT HAPPEN WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING ON A ROUGH ROAD
offcourse, but not everyone wants spongy ride, some prefer the feel of road!
THEY TOO REDUCE THE CAR'S PICK UP AS THEY ARE LARGER IN SIZE SO THEY PUT IMMENSE LOAD ON THE SUSPENSION OF CARS CAUSING THE AXLE OF THE WHEEL TO SLOW DOWN ITS MOTION AND FINALLY THE CAR RUNS SLOWER THAN BEFORE
tell ur uncle to start carring low weight rims
THEY WORN OUT VERY EARLIER THAN STANDARD RADIALS
they worn out because of lower thread wear number, again, it has nothing to do with rim diameter
SO THEY ALSO AREN'T COMFORTABLE BUT AS FAR AS YOU CONCERN SHOW OFF AND BEAUTY
comfort and show off my friend, is not always the gaol.
thr r other reasons y some ppl use larger rims
THE STANDARD RADIALS ARE HELL BETTER THAN THESE LOW PROFILE TIRES
again, ur transforming ur personal opinion into universal truth, please dont do this.
