Do you like those thin wall tires on trucks?

Personally, I want black steelies with some nice meat on my truck. Don't have it now, but that is what i would like. That is only cause of the color and look of my truck. To each their own.

I think is ridiculous!

Just my
How does 4x4 or not affect the looks? You can't see it without looking carefully up close.

I agree with erics sidewall logic, and really like his look. That said, I'm keeping my chrome clad 17' stockers and would like a little more meat. I don't want to do the lift spacers for many reasons, but i'd really like to do these Kuhmo Road Venture MTs. The problem is they dont make the size I want. I think a 285/65 or 60/17 (a bit wider than stock), would look b!tchin, but there are no low profile (relatively speaking), assymetrical tread MTs. If anyone knows of one, let me know.

I'm refering to a truck in general. If you lowered your truck and put big wheels and low profile tires is a good look.(depending on the tire). If you got a truck with a lift and put a tire with a tiny sidewall it looks ridiculous!

I'm not sure if i'm explaining myself! Sorry!!!
