Ok, so go find the tires and look at them? Is it really that hard to imagine a 45 series tire on a 15" wheel?

Come-on guy. Use some thought from that gray matter above you neck.

To answer part of you question, NO I have never used a 45 series tire on a 15", I think it's stupid to roll on rubberbands. Nor have I ever seen anyone out there on these tires. And being that Yokohama is probably the only tire company that makes them, I doubt they're extremely popular with the masses. No with that being said, do you think you'll find a picture of this wheel and tire combo?

haha.....you ****** idoit. did i say anything to you in any matter that you had to go all ape **** on me. i was just asking a simple *** Q but nooooooo you gotta be all big and bad and try to hurt my feelins.

i really dont care if you dont like running on rubberbands.........did i ask you? nope!

another thing.......how the **** would you know if ppl are running this tire or not. how many ppl are on this board........13000+......so maybe just maybe there might be someone that has ran this tire b4.

so please do yourself a favor and shut the **** up.

you are probably gonna reply with some bs like "who the **** do you think you are" " you are just some ricer that doesnt know wat the hell he is doing" or somin like that. any which way i dont care.

I'm the idiot? Have you looked in the mirror lately?

It's a wonder you get any of your posts answered with your attitude. How many people looked at this thread, but yet I'm the only one answering your quesions.

When you grow up, call me. I might respond to you when you can act like an adult.

if no one answers my Q then oh well i tried......

why did you come back with that remark in the first place. i didnt see any reason for you to react like that. that is why i came back with my remark.

"for every action, there is a reaction".

Alright, I'll quench the flames here and attempt to answer the question.

Why? Ride quality will suffer but turn-in will improve.

Your speedometer will read high, as you're decreasing your rolling radius. This effective gearing change will also impact acceleration, slightly. Autocrossers often use smaller overall wheels/tires to improve accleration.
