You are more than welcome to that opinion.
Please don't take this as a rant because it isn't. I respect everyones opinion.
It's only a bit of fun, you are right about COG being important.
The problem for us suziQ drivers is that the green oval brigade et al are obsessed with 35-37 inch bogger tyres which leaves us grounded on the centre!
I have had to go to 31's as a min to open up other areas to drive.

Anyway, much higher and it won't fit in my garage or have room to be jacked up in there in the winter months when I can't work on it outside.
You have to think about the cog thing but you also have to drive it within its limits on and off the road. The cog thing is as important on the road. Remember the elk test?
