You get arrested here if your oversize tires stick out farther than the vehicle body, so the flares are pretty necessary. I'm going flaps this fall because I have powered running boards and the front standard size tires fill the hinges full of road crap and they don't work. New trucks are coming standard with flaps now.

My other auto is a .45

The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory
