| Low-profile tires (shallow aspect ratio) offer no cushioning protection when encountering potholes. we have had four (4) blow-outs in the first year! tire manufacturers and car manufacturers profit from this poor design! it cost us over $600 for the first 2 tires irreparably damaged from a pot-hole! larger wheels and lower-profile tires can't be changed because the suspension and brakes are tuned to the low-profile design. my wife is ready to trade in the car! drivers are distracted looking at the pavement for pot-holes instead of watching other vehicles, traffic signals, etc. have this safety hazard recalled! get restitution for millions of dollars consumer waste on this! car salesman never mentioned this problem -- dealers are literally keeping a low profile and laughing all the way to the bank!*ak | |||
