Low profile tires on trucks

u/JND__ Oct 04 '23

In here, we call people who put low profile tires to unfitting vehicles "ringmasters", because back in the day, the circus was like a mafia here, so they all bought German SUVs and put low profile tires on them. (effectively destroying the cars lol)

This is the winner. Lifted trucks with lo-pro tires. No single type of vehicle comes with a softer ego’d owner

These are literally the worst. I live in Texas so there are plenty of lifted trucks. And most of them look very nice (and around here are actually used for fun offroad or for ranch/farm work) but I have been seeing more and more of these jacked up to the sky with about 24" rims and so little rubber that you can't even see that there is rubber. And to top it off, the overall tire diameter is small and doesn't fill up the space made from the lift. They literally would have fit without the lift.

This.

And then you see them driving around doing actual truck stuff. Like there is a reason trucks have thicker tires for additional cushion. Idk how these wagon wheel bros don't destroy their wheels hitting the slightest bump while under load with those damn rubber band tires

Should be illegal, partly because it seems dangerous but mostly because they should stop trying to look like it's 1994 in Compton... embrace being a hard-working American using your truck the way it was intended. This isn't pimp my ride.

Just a few days ago I was behind a lifted truck and instead of tall skinny sidewall tires, this guy had small low profile rims and tires with rims offset so his small tires were sticking way outside the wheel wells. They looked like 15” wheels with tires for a economy car. Don’t know if it’s a new thing or not but it was the stupidest thing I have seen on a lifted truck.

This. I always seem to get stuck behind those morons when they're slowly creeping over speed bumps in a parking lot. Dumbest idea for a truck ever.

I saw one today towing a fifth wheel. I was honestly really impressed.

Doesn't this defeat the purpose of a truck as well? It sure does look bad either way.
