Kumho is no longer a Korean company. It's Chinese.

You don't enjoy the supple ride of 22" rims with 2cm of tire height? I think giant rims on everything from Suvs to Trucks is my least favorite trend, there's so many cars that would ride quieter with more sidewall. They have to beef up all the other parts of the suspension to compensate for zero tire deformation.

Exactly -- artificially low ride heights and tiny sidewalls just mean a mushy suspension that's riding on the bumpstops with even a half load. All for aesthetics.

I can't speak to this tire specifically, but if you're thinking about buying a set, don't hesitate too long. I missed out on a screaming deal a couple weeks ago because the rollback price ended while I waffled.

2015 Miata maybe. The Delorean was on 14" and 15" wheels.

Sorry for making a time machine joke. I do miss sub-$100 tires being the norm, though.

Agreed. I feel like 17" wheels were a pretty good sweetspot for a full size truck. On smaller sports cars I didn't mind 15" wheels at all.
