This is a total cope out, and as John and I were discussing about staggered fitment, these 'low profile, performance' tires are on everything from a maxima to a jag to a Bimmer. This is how the industry is going, and to say 'we don't cover those' is BS, when the XF came out in 2004, I can understand that reasoning, but the norm (for nicer cars) is now 18-20" rims with low profile performance tires.

I agree 100% with the tire rack assessment.
