You end up with a vehicle that is cheaper to produce, and has a higher profit margin.

Jacking up the vehicle height only adds to the chances of rolling over.

But I didn't mean to get on a soapbox, so I'll quit while I'm ahead
the 265/ 35 / 22 tires size still keeps the same rolling diameter as stock only wider so how did it jack up my ride height? i could understand if i got a 40 series tire.
