Right, granted I'm mixing my praise for both the new tires and wider patch
on the road, but still, I can't see ANY reason to stick with the very
limited tire options available for 14" rims when there's so many relatively
cheap larger diameter rims out there (check Craigslist, there's tons).  For
the record, I do believe anyone running 14" rims should have reinforced
sidewalls...but, I think that's an entirely inappropriate rim size for such
a large vehicle.


btw:  I should have five factory alloys available sometime soon...
