Message	Let me start off by saying that I hate stupid youtube comment troll debates. That being said, I have been in a heated youtube debate for 6 months with these ignorant people trying to convince them that wider tires are not necessarily better for straight line acceleration and that wider tires do not equal a larger contact patch given weight and tire pressure are constant. Normally I laugh at the rampant ignorance on youtube and similar public forums but these few guys keep calling me out and ganging up on me and for some strange reason I am getting very annoyed. I have no back-up. I'm hoping that some of you guys can get on there and back me up. The last comment he said today was, "Go back to your mediocre 300ZX and I will keep on testing and reviewing high end cars, my opinion and knowledge must matter or I wouldn't be doing this. On that note, I have a brand new F-type Jag right now requires some road time, cheers.?"
