Big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
-- Creedence Clearwater Revival or Ike and Tina Turner
Why do some car companies feel the need to place cheap, tiny little tires on big trucks? I mean, I know they use cheap tires for monetary reasons, but some of this stuff is out of control. For example, if there's room to place a concrete block between the top of your tire and your wheel well, then you need bigger tires. The Ford Ranger is the king of this crime. Click here to see a picture and believe me, it's like a 2 foot gap in person.
Now obviously, you've got to have some space there for the wheels to actually spin, but come on people -- don't underestimate the value a nice set of tires will add to your ride. You may have a nice vehicle, but little matchbox car wheels just make it look like a toy. Do yourself a favor, get for real wheels, bling them up with some 22's that still spin when you're stopped and you'll be the coolest g on the block.
Have a good weekend, homefry!
