is there a reason you'd want a 40 series on a 15" rim? why not go bigger?

I think he might have meant why not a larger size tire, not wheel. 40 series is really small for that size wheel, why not 50 series?

man, probably have some nice roads out there. i loved the fact u can have a 15" wheel with 50 series and survive some potholes. IMO 40 series would look like rubber bands on a 15"

If you don't mind me asking why do you want a 40 series for a 15 inch wheel? You would really have to slam the **** out of your car to make it look decent. Also I sell most popular brands of tires and I have never even seen a 40.
