Default Grip >>>>>>> look
not to mention anti-curbage. I parallel park in NYC quite often so the rim protection is nice

Default With the tires bulged out like that, it seems it's more susceptible to rolling.
And hows the tramlining with that wide of rubber?

Default It used to tramline a bit, but I had an alignment done along with new front end bushings etc...
No tramlining except for a couple spots with REAL bad truck ruts. Other than that you can almost drive hands off on a straight road.

Default tramlining also has alot to do with what rubber your running as well
for instance Bridgie So3's HORROR show tramline with wide meats
