Mark, no matter as I have 12 years of school. Passed 6th grade twice.  |
Those are really low profile - much lower than I'm looking for, though perhaps good for those looking to autocross on 15" rubber. Comparable $$ to Avons.

I prefer 15" wheels for street use, but 17"s for the track as we have a lot of tire choices.
I also like the looks of tire filling up the wheel wells, rather than wheels. The latter makes Cobra's look like a street rod, not a old school muscle car. There's nothing wrong with either though. Plus, less sidewall on the street is harsh, but less sidewall on the road race track is much better. Too bad there isn't more tires for the 15", as time goes by, there's less and less.

Those Michelin TB15s are 35 and 40 series, so not much sidewall. The lower aspect ratio may make them good track tire options for some by lowering the car and providing a lower effective gear ratio w/o actually changing gears.

Yep, harder ride for crusing too. I see many ruined 20"-28" wheels from hitting bumps to even small pot holes. Not good in Nebraska ! lol....
I saw a BMW3 with short 1" sidewalls, it was bouncing all over the place. What a jaring ride that has to be !!!

I know a fellow with an AMG MB in Toronto that replaced a number of wheels due to nasty interactions with potholes. Those low profile rubber bands aren't particularly street friendly unless you have glass-smooth roads.
