Does anyone know why the front tires on most sports cars, including the S2K, is a little too thick? Is it just me, or do you fellas see the same thing? Why didn't Honda make the shoulders on the front tires square like the rears? And why aren't they 50 series sidewalls, they would look and perform a lot better I would think. Please reply. And from a related thread....I love the Yoko A520 tires...does anyone have them?

Indeed, but they always look fatter...know what I mean? I've seen it on many sports cars and it has always bugged me. Kinda like the Parthanon, the Greeks didn't like the way that perspective made it look like it was getting smaller as it got closer to the top so they made it wider at the top so it would be more visibly appealing...thats all I mean. The S2K front tires are just too fat looking for me, needs 50 series.
