what exactly are you trying to accomplish with this post diamond? the tires are already sold, but yet felt the need to chime in with your personal opinion about how the tires "look". Seriously?

hmm Maybe it is just the 275/30/19's, because my 245/40/18's I got for my cold-weather setup look like they actually have the tallest sidewall of all the tires in that size that I've tried. FYI I've tried: Bridgestone RE050 RFT, ContiSport UHP summers, Bridgestone RE960 and now DWS.

Not sure why you'd post this in a fellow member's 4S thread either - everyone here, who read more than one thread knows that the OEM size is 275/30/19 - which is what Mel had on hers. True, 285/30 is a better match in terms of the overall diameters matching between front and rear wheels, but that is only essential knowledge for Xi people. On the RWD cars smaller rear diameters actually help acceleration.

I'm not really condoning forum-wide diamond-bashings, but I'll have to "plus one" you on this, Mel. WTF

Nor am I trying to promote such behavior, but I am also just trying to bring to awareness certain tendencies consistently displayed.....
