Tires for 16" wheels are quite a bit cheaper, and I've never had a problem with 16" wheels... Is it just for looks? Jeremy James Andres 08-13-2007, 03:07 AM That'd be my guess. It doesn't seem right though? A tire with a 16" rim has more rubber product, than a tire the same size with a 20" rim, yet the 20" rims tire costs more? Are they harder to make or what? I know it's always been this way, but it doesn't make sence, besides that the demand for larger rims controls the prices?

Does that mean that they have smaller rotors on them too or are you talking about the other makes?
