295 is pretty wide, not narrow. Or you mean the sidewall is very narrow? Which at 25 it is.
Is this for an SUV? Which one?When I saw this today I was reminded of this thread.
I didn't realize that tires were made this narrow. Probably
a poor choice for California potholes.

Replacement tires/wheels for a 2019 S-class Mercedes,Is this for an SUV? Which one?
It is 2.9" sidewall. Not a lot, but there is still some rubber. My 225/40 R18 on BMW are 3.5". On cars, 3-4" is what you looking for, unless some econboxes.Replacement tires/wheels for a 2019 S-class Mercedes,

Not of you're driving in places like Philadelphia or Seattle. You can drop a Jetta in some of the potholes around here.It is 2.9" sidewall. Not a lot, but there is still some rubber. My 225/40 R18 on BMW are 3.5". On cars, 3-4" is what you looking for, unless some econboxes.

Yeah, I'm with you on that. A little more sidewall, please.Went and took a peek at this over the weekend as a replacement for my 2015 Canyon. I think GM has overdone the wheels on the Denali package. I like the stance overall, but the wheels make it look a bit like a Tonka truck. Dropping them to 19 or 18 in. would put it back into proportion, IMO. I guess they're still trying to keep the "truck" look while making the handling more car-like. Too much aluminum, two little rubber.

I have been there a lot. Still worse here in Colorado Springs. Sandy soil has a rocky composition and has a lot of movement. Also, rapid snow melts due to lots of sunshine, and altitude turns water into ice during the night, cracking roads.Not of you're driving in places like Philadelphia or Seattle.

Want to try that again ??? Do the math bro!!!it's 25% of 295, so more sidewall than a 225/45. Not as low as it seems
No but contribute to tearing up the roads making potholes lol
