I've read accounts of bush pilots who have huge oversize tires having
to screw the rims to the tire bead to prevent them from slipping on
the rims and cutting off the air nozzle. They have a lot more mass
behind them than the tires on a Cessna 172 though.


That's because they run low tire pressures, not the size of the tire. You have
the same problem with off-road motorcycles.

and they think irrationally when a woman wears leather clothing?
Because she smells like a new truck.
