So my opinion of what I thought looked better upset you? If you would have read my post (maybe a little slower) I never told him to buy a wider tire based entirely on looks. I said that I like the way the wider one looked so that is what I would go with. I also said one inch wider of a tire will not make that huge of a difference in MI.

Now 10" compared to 15" wide is another story.

So if you want to be an ass and ridicule my post, learn how to read and type first.:banghead:

Thanks

lol OK, i read it slower, it does not upset me in the least. Looks over function statements are useless to this person. No ridicule just a Charlie Brown "good grief".

Now that you've ridiculed my typing i'm very upset wit yu! lol
Didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I'm sorry. :kissyou:

Unless you're a Yooper, I'd go with the skinnier ones. Actually, if I were a Yooper, I'd still run skinny ones--just much taller.

awwwww, isn't that sweet. Damn, didn't mean to start drama with my baby's momma up in heare.

On another note, I was talking to Terry at Ridgidco last night and his son does a lot of stress analysis (goes to Georgia Tech for his Phd) and they tested the difference between a 12.5 tire and an 11.5 and concluded it produced atleast 300+ lb of stress on all the components. This was with a 16x8" rim with 3.75 BS also. I am sure it is worse with less backspacing and wider rims. So in reference to possible variables to consider in tire width I guess an inch has a huge difference in this case. Anyway, that was enought to convince them never to run 12.5 wide again and stick with metric sizes like 285/75r16. Downside is to get anything close to that in metric you have to go with 16's. Course, if you already have that size of rim, great.

This really has nothing to do with
