Low profile is fine until you go off pavement and encounter some rough situations. Most trucks just run around the city so the tires are just to look good.
Low profile is great for cornering but tends to eat up the treads quick.
Makes sense in a sports car...not so much for a big pickup.
Yer both substantially out to lunch here. Both fundamentally and specifically in the context of this thread.
1. Aside from a few high trim level model 1/2 tons, or significantly "brodozered" trucks, there isn't a full size pickup LD or HD that reasonably has a low enough profile setup to be of any hinderance doing "truck" things, like towing, hauling, off roading, driving over curbs, etc.
2. The sidewall profile vs tire wear is not relative in the way you posted it above.
More uninformed jaw flapping from geezernet on the low profile thing....
