That's why I referred specifically to the mall-cowboys, or "agroboys" as we say in Brazil (even though they don't plant not even their own weed ). But anyway, apart from the hydroplaning issue, those oversized off-road tyres may also lead to other dangerous situations since they wear out quickly when used on-road, which could lead to a tyre blow-up and a rollover for example.
