mcrews, in all respect why do you write that the skinny tires have a smaller od?
have you seen the links I provided?
this is a quite negative-sounding post.
I said earlier my stock tire is 195/60/R15 with a od of 23.75".
I provided a link where there is a choice of a 125mm tire and a 135mm.
the 125 is 23.00 od and the 135 is 23.57" od. the difference in od between the fat tire and the skinny tire is tiny.
you do raise a good point about stopping in an emergency. that seems to be a very valid point in my opinion, however we must explore how true it is, since many vehicles in europe have tires that are skinny like "euromodder" says above.
