why did high end sports/race cars used to have tiny 15 inch wheels with bag fat high profile tires on them?
ferrari p330, porsche 917, gt40, miura, countach, c3 corvette
Why? did they not know that a bigger wheels were more responsive? Were the aspect ratios just not available?

Why don't F1 cars use donk tires? They are the most responsive tires ever made
Why don't you know how to English? What the fuck
That was back during slavery. Only when we empowered the blacks did we truly understand how dank the donk really was.
can someone answer this seriously, id really like to know
Do you have any information about the fucking barely existent rubber on those?
Who manufactures shit like that? How much does it cost? How long does it last, what PSI do you have to run?
Probably because the cars had to be close wheeled and at the same time, incredibly low to the ground. Even adding another inch to the size of the tire means you need to cut into the bodywork further to keep it close to the ground.
If you're asking why the rims weren't bigger, probably because aesthetics weren't a priority.
rubber bands main...
You run a car like that, you dont care about the price of no fuckin tires white boi
>implying big wheels are better
Yeah nah. Look at f1.
I suspect it was because a big fat tire could handle bumps in the early race tracks that were shitty better than a stiff skinny tire. Maybe it had to do with tire technology and that was the only way they could get a tire wide enough, it had to have thick sidewalls
