Why do we put such big wheels on our little car?

Why do we put such big wheels on our little car? There are some gripping reasons. It would be worth having big wheels on the VW just so we could have big tires. Why? Because big tires hold the rood better and last longer than little tires. But that's only half of it. We put those big wheels on the VW so that we could have bigger brakes, too. Obviously, the bigger the brakes the surer the stops. The big wheels also let nice fresh air in to cool the brakes more quickly. Which means thot the VW's brakes always come back for more, no matter how hard you step on them. The VW's wheels are bigger than they have to be because we like to overdo things in a big way. (like the fourth coat of paint that you really don't need, either.) So when you drive away in your new VW, you can expect about 40,000 miles on the original rubber. (Which is roughly twice what you can hope for on most other cars.) But you'll hove to go a long way to beat the record held by Mr. Robert Walton of Homestead, Florida. He chalked up 103,345 miles on his original set of 5 tires. Which is quite a stretch to go without getting tired.
