Why do the car-makers insist on putting these faggy low-profile tire/rim packages on all of their cars...

ask me how i know you live in south kek

Just don't buy them.

>havent driven it on new wheels yet

Fuck is my ride quality going to be complete ass now? When I push on the corner of the car with the original 15s, it makes the tire bounce more than the suspension. The new tires are markedly stiffer. Fuuuuck.

The cars keep getting larger and it's the only way to keep the proportions correct.

Modern cars have massive brake rotors which require big ass rims to clear them and massive wheel arches to clear the wheels. That doesn't leave much room for tire. Tall and meaty tires also probably don't ride "sporty" enough for most people. God forbid your 5000lb crossover or suv rides like a truck.
