Wide tires the great conspiracy.
IMHO wide tires have cost consumers billions of dollars unnecessarily. In fact i would go so far as to call wide tires a conspiracy. With all the money spent on vehicle control from 4WD to stability to compensate for wide tires being worthless in poor traction conditions when it really counts. The only reason cars are safer is because they crash safer. People will drive in over their heads no matter what controls are on the vehicle. Wide tires increase the difference in traction between dry road and poor conditions, thus causing the public to be lawed in to a false sense of security. IMHO
