wait... by the US thing, why does it say 16 inches, and why is the 16 inch one wider than the stock 15 inch?

Your odometer is racking up how many miles your tires are telling you you are traveling, but not how many miles the rest of your car is traveling. makes parts wear faster because they have to spin more to do the same speed.

Wouldn't you want a taller, skinnier tire so that your tires spin less and make your engine have to spin less? then lower the car to compensate for the higher ground clearance?
