315/35/20 (just a LOT of tire for a kid-haulder )

The 20's came with much more interesting wheels, but not nice enough to justify the added cost.
315's ????

What kind of SUV was this, a Porsche Cayenne or something?

That's a big step up from 255's. I assume those rims are a couple inches wider than the standard ones?

Impressive. Someone spent a lot of time re-contouring the fenders.

Yeah. The fronts look like Michael J. Fox did them by hand after a couple drinks.

Everything about that car is stupid. Probably the stupidest part is the one that sits in the driver's seat.

I would have gone with 30" rear and 22" fronts...That way I could watch the road thru the sun roof!
