... in my younger, less informed days I put undersized 50 series tires on 
my qtc.  The bmajor issues that I had were that the ride got much rougher
and I ended up bending a set of Ronals on an old driveshaft I found late 
one night on a dark highway.  Another strange effect was that I found was
that the cruise control could not hold a smooth speed.  I went back to the
proper sized tire and all has been well ....
