I have 17" wheels right now. I'm looking at new tires and why is the same size tire in a 17 more than it comparable model in a 15? The 15 has MORE material...
For instance, a MT Baja boss 35 x 12.5 x 17 is 340 dollars right now at quadratec. The same tire, in a 35 x 12.5 x 15 is only 266.
A BFG KM3 is the same story. 346 for the 17" version. the 15" version is 244. With that kind of difference, I could almost buy new wheels to go with the tires and break even! It just doesn't make sense to me.
