Kind crazy.

385/15ZR22. REALLY? 15???

although, I didn't realize / know that the sidewall was a % of the width.

Yeah, reminds me of the tires on that Audi in i-Robot. LOL. They look about the same width as diameter.

it only works because its so wide, and yes the sidewall height is 15% of the width so in this case its about 58mm. It would never work with a more normal sized tire, such as a 225. In that case the sidewall would only be about 34mm tall, which is super tiny
