It is all for bling. That is way to thin of a sidewall.


Do you ever see racecars running 22's?

There is a performance advantage to low profile tires. The smaller the sidewall, the less it deflects during cornering, so turn-in and steering response are much sharper. These are being offered for Ferraris, Vettes, and Vipers, so it looks like Kumho is aiming them towards performance and not so much looks. They will probably be offered in 19" wheels sizes or bigger (possible as low as 18").
