A larger tire does not give a rougher ride, in fact, just the opposite. -- Brian www.accesswave.ca/~orion If you don't pay your exorcist, you get repossessed. |

Wouldn't that only be the case only if the actual diameter of the tire is larger? If a 13" tire/wheel with 70 series is taken to a 14" tire/wheel with a 60 series that would keep the entire diameter of the wheel within specs in regards to the speedometer and overall diameter of the wheel. However with the 60 series tire there would be a lower profile sidewall which would reduce the amount of air, stiffen the wheel and increase handling and performance. Of course the tradeoff would be comfort. Anyone please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. -Dave btw - has anyone heard anything about the new Bridgestone Potenza G009 and how it compares with the Potenza RE950? |
