That is bad, but the link to the VW with the 235s on a 17x11 is worse...I think.

I'll be the first to admit that I don't know **** about mounting tires, but you can tell just by looking at it that something isn't right there. Nevermind who mounted them - HOW can you get a sidewall to buckle that much to mount them in the first place? One high-pressure turn and that driver dies. It is funny if someone did it as a joke, but it someone is actually driving that car, it is a scary thought...

I had a guy ask me to put a 315 on one side of his vette and a 295 on the other side one time when i was a tire guy, I just laughed and asked him if he wanted to sign a liability waiver. I wanna find that tire shop so i can get something like that done then sue them after i wreck my car.
