I have noticed most new mainstream automobiles like the Accord, Camry, etc. come with exceedingly large tires. A Sport Edition Camry (which is an oxymoron right there) came with pure summer tires a few years ago. Hello...these are front wheel drive family vehicles...Let's race for pinks with the Altima, Aura, and new Malibu. Many people do not recognize how expensive larger tires cost and that larger tires do not provide good snow traction compared with skinnier tires. Go ahead and parallel park your 18inch Mazda 6 wheels in the city as you damage the wheel against the curb. I think this possible trend poses potential dangers and accidents. People might hesitate replacing tires after they hear the 17 inch tires on their 173 horsepower legacy wagon will cost nearly $1000 or more to replace. I just think their is nothing worse than a "Sheep in Wolf's clothing," and an expensive one at that.
