During a 60-mph freeway run last night, I noticed the Solstice seemed to be fidgeting more than usual over grooves and joints. So this morning when the tires were cold, I checked the pressure and found that they were all a couple psi over spec. As I was resetting them to the correct pressure, I couldn't help but notice all the damage to our long-termer's right front wheel. That polished 18-inch five-spoke still looks great from a distance, but look close and it's a mess...
Far from providing a damage buffer, its 245/45R18 Goodyear Eagle companion has suffered several scrapes of its own.
When you're going to drive and park a car day in, day out, I'm just not convinced it's worth it to go this big on wheels and tires.
