Buy ME one and I promise to be careful!
To actually contribute to the discussion, I don't like LP tires either. It's interesting they're so popular, as fuel mileage is a big deal these days and the taller narrower tires roll easier. I guess the deal is, the bigger the wheels, the less flexing of the low profile tires. Takes some of the variability out of the vehicle's cornering etc.
Our Corolla and Frontier take "ordinary" 15" tires. A good replacement set is around $500. That doesn't happen with 17's/
