   Why is a tire larger than 18 inches ever necessary for a non-commercial   
   vehicle?  I don't think I've ever had a vehicle (I've owned well over 30   
   vehicles) with a larger than 15 inch diameter tire.  That includes my   
   F-150 and C10 trucks.  My '97 Chrysler LHS *might* have had 16" tires,   
   at the largest.  I hate needlessly large modern trucks and SUV's.
