And we’ve all had experiences we learned from.
I learned about the right width rims for tires and right pressure for treadwear at the same time, same truck, 1 set of tires.
Very true.
Other folks,mine included, experience with proper tire width/wheel width come from a haulers perspective carrying max or close to max axle/wheel loads on trucks and trailers 24/7 for 70k-90k miles a year. Many times its two sets a year on the truck and the trailer. So proper wheel width for the tires tread width means more trouble free/best handling/more miles down the road.
Big oversize wide 65 psi tires didn't give the best service/mileage/handling for any of five trucks in my huge :B five truck fleet.
So yeah we apply our personnel experience(s) in many choices.
