There is a "notice" in the owners manual that says "If your vehicle has P245/45R18 tires, they are classified as low-profile tires. Low-profile tires are more susceptible to damage from road hazards or curb impact than standard profile tires". So what is the advantage of low-profile tires other than maybe looks? My Toyota Highlander has 225/65R17 tires. Not as wide as the Sky but both tires appear to have about the same outside diameter. Also, lets look at ratings:
Treadware Traction Temperature
My Sky 260 A A
My Toyota 500 A A
My Honda 560 A B
My Old Pickup 440 A A
Why such a low treadware rating on the Sky tires? Is this a softer rubber that gives better handling?
