Oh yeah, I guess I'm just used to 15-17 inch rims where there is larger differences in squish. Haha I've also never even seen someone with winter tires so I couldn't pick one out if it was an inch from my nose. No need for snow tires down here in central south texas, we either have dust, mud or ice (ranked in most common). We also only have ice for about one or two weeks out of the year, leaving just enough time for people to wrap their cars around trees and telephone poles. I dont even count anymore how often I hear "well I could drive on the ice back home no problem."
