    To post #35: Good, I also dislike the O-ring tire look. Also, as sidewalls get shorter, the suspension has to get softer to absorb the ride.....since the sidewalls have little flex when the sidewall height is minimized. Newer cars with the short sidewalls have really soft suspensions.

    yeah that's part of the reason I wanted more profile.
    partly because I didn't like the look, and partly because I figured it would at least partially soften the suspension
