Why? Easier to go flat?

Not really easier to go flat but so much easier to damage the rim. There is almost nothing protecting your rim from the road. One pot hole or road imperfection and you'll end up with a cracked/bent rim.

Something else to keep in mind is that the stress the side wall can carry is also hindered, so handling at speed will be drastically reduced.

Just food for thought but I would never go with anything below a 35 series tire.

Hurting the rim makes sense. As for going below 35, didn't have a choice. Many high-end sports cars and exotics come from the factory running <35 for the rear and/or front tires.

Congrats! Any titanium exhaust will give you giant weight savings. The stock is so damn heavy with all the cats, resonators, etc...
