maybe no big tires because there is no big 4x4s in europe.  Remember, big chebs, fords and dodges ar not as common as here, they have lots of ladas and suzukis, which dont need bigger tires

Availability here and there isn't really a valid point.  Guys in the UK can order the same stuff as us US guys via the web, right.  Local laws? wheels covered by flares? Come on! I got the real reason.  The UK drive-thrus ar much smaller.  If you can't get your KFC or Mickey D's without gettin out of your Zuk, there's gonna be problems ;)

If you're talking about Florida you're wrong. Largest road tire is 52", headlights bulbs 54" or less, taillights 72" or less, 5" or less bodylift, no front blocks, no stacked blocks, no full hydro steering.

Frame height is null in FLA.


Nope NH i live there.....

Shipping large items within the US is a bitch. I don't even want to guess how much it'd cost to ship a set of 35"+ tires from the US to Europe :o

Yeah, I thought of the shipping explosivo, but when you're spending a thousand bucks or so for new bolognas, whats a couple hundred more to get 'em to your door step.  It could relate to gas prices though.  I mean, we have zuks that get 25+ mpg on 35's, but that doesn't accound for the bigger vehicles, or lack there of.
