So you think your fancy 30-series tires look cool on your oversized wheels? Think again! Your ride comfort is lame. Those shocks are working harder than they need to. And your whole auto experience could be improved by one simple move; it’s time to save the sidewalls.
Seriously, proper sidewall on a tire not only looks great it serves a mechanical purpose. That extra cushion makes your ride smoother and more comfortable. As automakers push for ever-increasing wheel diameters, the nation’s poor suspension engineers are being pushed to the brink of insanity. Give them some relief! Think of the engineers! Let’s save the sidewalls!

You can find the shirt at Blipshift. Proceeds from each purchase, well um they don’t go to any suspension engineers, they support this site.

Count me in – we just installed some 80 series doughnuts on our hooptie!

yup, yup – 285/75/18’s on the pickup. Long live sidewall!
Pao, look at that!
Honestly, bring whitewalls back – they give the look of larger wheels without actually having large wheels.
Or, you could even go for extending the wheel design onto the tire to make it look larger – this is going too far, but, here, have a Range Rover with fake larger wheels: https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e74eea308fadbe96f378c0dae133eea74869717b9d12c8b548aa0d641b57b46c.jpg
Even Bugatti’s done this https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0a68625b8b2f50e1899cf0cef5a5f5ca64fc728400de871550e596635d708a13.jpg (citation: By Matti Blume – Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=77166866 )
That’s truly appalling.
That Range Rover makes me happy, there’s a certain joy in automotive absurdity that thumbs its nose at convention.
Whoa, déjà vu!
Took me a sec to figure out why this hooptie looked familar.

Sharp eye Kemosabi, we’re thrilled to own this weird car and like plastering photos of it everywhere. If you’re alright with slooow, a Pao’s for you.
1400/30R46’s are hot though :
