Nah US plates are ugly. Europeans are too elitist for that.

I mean as silly as all of this is, I really genuinely wanted to know the answer so I don't think the thread needs to be locked.

I can't imagine it being for anything but looks and detrimental to tires and suspension parts (not to mention handling), but am also interested to find out if there is some advantage that I'm not seeing. Not that I would do it to any of my vehicles, but, if it has some desirable effect on ride/handling/&c, I'd like to find out. Inquiring minds want to know!

I can't answer your question but I know my 5 year old boy's Power Wheel rides and handles better than that

Absolutely none! It makes ride and handling much much worse.

Thanks. Coming from someone with so many rep points, I'll take that as a authoritative answer.
