They all use ridiculously tall tires.   Face it--you can't have a 
large-diameter wheel and a small-diameter tire.   It's just a fact of life.   :<(

If you're just now trying to figure out a tire and wheel combination for this 
weekend, forget it.   Just stay home.   Take your time, do it right and be 
ready when the time comes.

Why did you wait until four days before the event to start working on this?   
Oh, wait, that's right--you're Dan Courtney--that's how you roll! :>)
