...that wider tires offer no performance benefits? Was it the statement, "As the results from the lateral acceleration and handling course indicate, each successive plus size led to a noticeable increase in handling performance?" Or maybe it was the part where they said, "Inch Up" to improve your vehicle's performance and appearance. Increased Steering Response. Improved Dry Handling. Enhanced Cornering Ability."
Or maybe it was elsewhere on the same site where they showed that the 225's offer 7.9 inches of tread width compared to the 7.6 inches offered on the 215's. Maybe it was the part where they used 7 inch wheels for their 215 tire dimensions and 7.5 inch wheels for their 225 tire dimensions. (Viggen OEM wheels, by the way, are 7.5). Maybe it was the part that showed that the 225's can support an additional 122 pounds of load compared the 215's. But you're right that we should be careful of the huge increase in loaded radius (from 11.6 to 11.7 inches) since it will drastically change our speedometer .
Once again, your powers of persuasion and uncanny logic have convinced met that narrow tires are indeed better than wide tires.
