I was going to cite BMW as being the worst offender in this category. It doesn’t personally bother me, but there’s definitely a lot going on there.

I’ll be darned. I thought I hated those wheels but it turns out they were just on the wrong car!
We were absolutely in awe watching this guy fly at Gridlife. It was almost as interesting as the drifting!
You don’t say much my friend, but when you do it’s to the point, and I salute you for it.
I detect, like me, you’re endowed with the gift of gab.
Not true! They got prospects! They’re bonafide!
Definitely an under-appreciated quote.
I use this about once a month for some reason or another.
I believe she’s startin’ to turn...
DO NOT SEEK THUH TRAESUURE.

Haha no problem! I’ll be honest, as a fairly knowledgeable car guy, I had no idea how much I didn’t know about tires until I started working in the industry.
Probably less than you think!!
Sorry, yes. When we talk about whitewalls we use a full band or just the lettering interchangeably.
More specific?
While that might have been the case back then, more modern tires with a white band or white lettering are actually a white rubber band on an otherwise black tire.
Unfortunately it’s not that simple. Black wall tires are made of two bands of black rubber stacked top and bottom. White walls have a third strip of white rubber wedged in the middle. As sidewalls got smaller and smaller, there simply isn’t room for a third band anymore. That’s why most of the whitewalls you see at…
Yeah, that grill does not scale up well...
Can confirm: Those are BFG All-Terrain T/A KO2s.
Honestly, if you did it long enough, I’m sure your torque converter would grenade itself. All of that energy has to go to heat which at some point would likely overcome whatever mechanical limits exist.
