It's Only Money
Perhaps I need to change my opinion about low-profile tires, or at least modify it.
A Mountaineer owner comes in with a low tire light and I wonder how to tell which one.
I would never put low pros on a vehicle, no matter how cool I thought it looked. They're simply not practical, and I don't drive on a pristine test track every day. I imagine that not many of you do either.
But then I started to think. It's people that don't think about how much they're spending replacing a bubbled tire and a rim every couple of months that are going to keep dollars flowing in the economy. So while I may not ever go to low pros, if you like 'em, go for it! Call it the tire & wheel replacement stimulus bill.
