  There was an obsession in the early 2000s for low profile tyres.<br>People don&apos;t seem to realise that:<br>1) the ride gets harder and often uncomfortably hard.<br>2) handling might be better but you then get more scrub on the tyres and they wear out much faster<br>3) they often bottom out on pot holes and damage the wheels (damage rims, crack the alloy) and I have even seen cases where it has damaged the chassis (VW was quite common).

  My impression is that manufacturers often put very cheap tires on new vehicles. &nbsp;My 2001 Tundra came with Dunlop ATs which lasted 24K miles. I replaced them with Michelins which were expensive, but lasted 65K miles and improved gas consumption by 1mpg. Looking at my cars, truck, bicycles and motorcycles I seem to end up with Michelin or Continental.

  I remember driving a 1970s Chevy Chevette. No air, no power anything. No power steering. And I had bias tires on it. I went to put new radial tires on and it was like a miracle. It’s as if I installed power steering. It was so much better in every way. Radial tires was a gigantic leap in performance and safety. <br>Thank you for your video. Monster mechanic.

  At the 9 minute mark:-<br>hard tyres (I am from Downunder), wear out slower, are harsher to drive on, don&apos;t handle well in the wet, are prone to crack more in hotter climates, don&apos;t grip the road well<br>soft tyres, wear out faster, are softer to drive on, handle better in the wet, retain the oil so they are less susceptible to cracking, grip the road better. &nbsp;I used to be a mechanic. &nbsp;<br>Next time you want to buy cheap tyres and drive at the speed limit, just think this; all that is making an imprint on the road is 4 palm prints, that is all the tyre size is on the road!<br><br>p.s. &nbsp;I love watching these vids, as I can never remember what those numbers mean

  It’s mind boggling how much AMD knows about so many different aspects of the automobile.
