safest wheel/tire package for everyday driving in dry/rainy conditions?

[greenhummer]

hey Fox,

You think GM honestly puts on the SAFEST wheel/tire combo for a particular mode of driving?? And you are calling me dense? :-)

I'm not looking at putting 24" steel/chrome spinners on the car. Rather getting 20"/22" high-quality forged alloy wheels with a lower profile tread that is summer rated. And I don't give care about ride comfort...

I drive a $75K BMW sports sedan and they still went cheap on some of the basics. Manufacturers are looking at cutting costs just to stay alive. Did you hear about the 30,000 job layoff by GM?

Do you think Ford put on the safest wheel/tire combo with those Explorers that eventually had to be recalled to replace the *faulty* Firestone tires?

If anybody out there is happy with another non-stock wheel/tire setup just PM me. Apparently this thread is going nowhere.

thanks,

Green

The above is the title of this thread.....are you purposely being dense?

The safest wheel/tire package for everyday driving in dry/rainy conditions in the manufacturer of the vehicles opinion is........what the freakin thing came with....

You keep missing the point that big chrome rims with rubberband tires ARE NOT as safe as the stock setup.....
