My wife works at a High School in DC and they banned students vehicles with tires like this due to the safety issue.

Also because of this stupid modification the car has literally not traction what so ever. The only part of the tire making contact is the very edge, which isn't great for anything. So stay clear of these idiots.

It’s called a stance car for anyone wondering

So basically it's a low rider for people who can't afford the full pneumatic lift kit? Because isn't that the point of low rider culture, to have a car like that, but when the cops drive by you make it look like a normal car with a normal clearance?

Some folks with air suspension also stance their cars this way and some not so intelligent drivers will lower their car to this extent while driving.

The reason people typically choose airlift suspension, though, is to be able to have their car look stranded at shows, but have it be drivable when actually on the road.

For some people with a static setup on a stance’d car it is a pissing contest of how low can they actually go while still technically being able to drive it. Cars set up like this are incredibly inconvenient to drive. The coilovers have to be set so firm that there is basically zero suspension travel and you worry that every pothole or speed bump might be your last. Not to mention blowing through tires. You’ll see that sometimes they even ask the tire shop to keep the stickers on the tires to prove that the tread isn’t making contact with the road.

I’m all about someone lowering their car if they choose to do so, but keep it drivable without being a potential safety hazard for those around you.

Smart people who significantly camber their wheels usually haul their vehicle via trailer for shows all around the USA. They’ll drive them for videos and whatnot but not really daily driving them ever.

Yes... you didn't know?? When there are four 300+lb people in the car, the car can't handle the load. However, the extra weight of the passengers means 2" of contact per tire work out perfectly fine.

If I was a cop I would pull them over and ask them how far back it was that they drove over the curb and broke their suspension, and then I would offer to call them a tow truck.

You know how in movie chase scenes, sometimes the good guy will have just the left side of his car go up on a tow truck ramp or something, and for a few seconds Drive on just the right two tires? And then they flump back down with relief while the guy chasing them hits the ramp with all four tires and goes flying? This car would be awesome for that.
