"As soon as I put them on, people were walking up to my trucks and saying.....
'Wow, what did you do that truck?' " Grimes says.
Doesn't he understand that those were not compliments?

oh jeez...
he forgot to mention how smaller sidewalls and low pro tires are also more likely to be taken out in potholes (which are becmoing all too grequent across teh countty!)... and that there is no need for "high performance" tires on a truck that will roll over before losing lateral traction on tires because of the high center of gravity...the last thing i want is a high up traditional SUV on low profile perforamnce tires driving like a "race" car driver, popping his tires and rolling over in the process....even on perfornace sedans and sports cars...there is a limit you should not cross! grrrr...guess there is realtively little harm if people just get them for bling bling and drive slow so people can sheck out the bling bling!
