HEY! I have a 245 tire on a 10" wheel! It's not as bad as some people putting a 205 or 215 on a 10, but still...it bugs me so I'll be getting some 265's or 275's by end of summer!

Way back in the day some a**hole tried to sell me on 225s for 10" wheels. Mind you this was long before that was a fad.

Needless to say that did not go over well. Tire stretching is retarded

Learn how to park and you wont damage your rims on a curb. Simple enough.

What does hitting a frost heave, pothole or debris in the road have to do with parking? Not all rim damage is curb related.
