Snake oil sales if you ask me. How can the tires last up to double assuming
you get tires with the same wear specs?

How can the speedometer be more accurate if the rolling radius stays the
same? Increasing the radius means you will screw-up accuracy if your speedo
is properly spec'd for your 14" set-up.

This brand and model of the first set of tires I found cracked sidewalls in.
