But to each his (or her) own.

It is a lot of tire but that is the goal. I was reading a Book on Shelby and one of the key fabricators said he did not like the 427 because they could not fit enough tire under it. If they had access to these tires they would have used them.
Since the first, hot rod people have tried to fit bigger tires. As a replica, I get the flaw in changing the tire size but as you said, to each his own.
I am still on the fence.
