Well, I could point out that my stereo predates Monica Lewinsky's BIRTH, but that is just oneupsmanship.

But bringing us back to the topic - low profile tires - if you go back far enough, the aspect ratios of tires available was as high as 100%. At what point should we start calling them low profile? When I was a lad, 70 series was considered low profile - and there were the same complaints about those. It's all a matter of perspective.
