Fred, many years ago I was at a service station in Houston, and a guy pulled in, and I looked at his license plate.
It was: SWMMS
I studied and thought, then asked him what it meant. He said: Skinny Women Make Me Sweat
We just grinned - I never knew what that meant. Maybe you know! ---BILL L

I put the Michelin XWX 185/215-70 tires on my car with 7/8 wheels. That was the European tire size fitted. When I was on Charlie's Le Mans Tour I saw a Pantera so equipped and fell in love with the look.
I have heard one say that it makes the car look like it is on stilts. To MY eye it looks PERFECT. The look of the XWX is what I especially like. It's your car, so make it look good to yourself! We are not racing, so I am not interested in wide tires. I removed the wide wheels & tires and the ride quality improved.
IMHO - A car does not look good without a lot of sidewall showing. I also don't like skinny women!Fred
