imo that would negate any and all suspension work, as mentioned in hard turns it looks like it would increase body roll, pluus THEYRE HUGE, you cant get a good ride height with them, but hell im sure G-Unot will get a hold of them and every "balla shcokholla" in the hood will be pedalin some snow fo some twenkies

Actually part of their purpose was better road handling. The goal was to make the contact patch as large as possible regardless of the surface, so given the same outer tread as a normal tire, they would be able to grip more since the surface area touching the tarmac will be greater.
