This is something that has never made sense to me. Smaller diameter rim means more tire is required to obtain the same overall diameter. More tire means more tire material - rubber, belts, whatnot. And yet they charge less for them. Boggles the mind.

I still don't understand the allure of gigantic rims + rubber band tires. I think they look stupid.
