4Runner Veterans advice

well i did use you tire fitment guide to get sidewall difference

but i am not talking about low profile tires, i am talking about the difference between the 17 OEM size per your chart vs the 20 OEM size.

265/70/17 vs 245/60/20

now if he was running like 45-50 sidewall ratio i could understand. i still go back to my original, if your hitting a pothole at a speed that it causes a flat, then more likely your going to cause a flat regardless of if your using the 17 OEM size or the 20 OEM size.

now if they would bring back the old 31x10.5 sizes from the old days, that would fun


edit : i know people here have run into the famous detroit potholes, especially i75/i94 (i can attest to them visiting family in xmas).

It's pretty simple. F=ma when hitting a pothole and the only thing keeping the F off the rim is that cushion of air and rubber in the sidewall. The bigger the better to absorb the F.

Wait a minute ... Are you in the Detroit area, or I just the family there?

You know, I thought in the movie the goal was to F Stifler's ma, but I can't figure out why anyone would want to force Stifler's mass times acceleration ...

family on my dad's side live in Detroit. grandma lived off mound road and knoll street (actually a dirt road since they couldn't afford to pay it).

others lived off 14m in warren.

mom lived in Pontiac for a while then moved south, got tired of the cold.

me and dad would drive up from GA via i75 when I was a kid to visit grandma. I would later in life drive from ND to Detroit to visit mom via i94.

haven't been back to Detroit since the early 90's.

And here I thought someone was nearby. I'm in Toledo. Having read all of that, I'm kind of jealous of both GA and ND.

The second half of that certainly applies to Toledo.
