It's all wheel and the tires appear like rubber bands, like a Capsela wheel

Anything less than a 235 series sidewall is ridiculous IMO. Where could you ever drive that car? What are the handling and ride quality like? Why would you not want to protect your expensive wheels with a slightly meatier tire? I just don't get it. At least they didn't try to get the car "hella flush" and try to stretch the tires out.

235 wouldnt be a sidewall, its a tread width. the second number in the tire size is the sidewall aspect ratio.

Like I said, bombproof. -Palmer
