Where in my comment was there anything "loud" or any evidence of inability to deal with change?  I just simply stated that I have been confused by the propensity of some to switch wheels on a vehicle.  I remain confused by that, but as I said, different folks have different ideas.

I did not ridicule anyone or anyone's ideas, something which can't be said for everyone who has responded.  I know that some folks with engineering expertise switch wheels, just as do some who just want to, perhaps because others have.  But all this confuses me.  I retain my right to be confused, just as I respect other's rights to behave differently than I do.  I do hope that all those who make changes are doing so within reasonable safety limits, for example regarding tire diameters and braking capacity.
