Looking at older cars with huge sidewalls on the tires, they really look strange.

I think the new rims and style tires look great in the modern era. I do like what I see. Today I and loved the wheel design of the new Highlander, how it fills the area, then how the tire completes it

That said, older car sidewalls are fine by me. There is one Toyota sedan that stills offers 75 series sidewalls.

Yeah 75 would be huge lol

65 series tires on the Corolla aren't real huge because the width of the tire is pretty narrow.

65s, today, are basically the realm of (some) crossovers and trucks/SUVs. The days of 65-series sedans are (sadly) gone.

Out You Tube is just out of control for MW stuff.



Great video. It’s long but brings back great 80s memories. amazing how many sedans and coupes and convertibles. I think there are 5 ragtops from all their brands.

Anyways. For those that hang in there check out the digital gauges and the touch screens which have come back in style in the modern era.
