btw, the bigger the rim size, the "same" tire will be worse than with a smaller rim size........

i.e. if 16" 712's are 80% of the OE SO-2, then 18" 712's will be 70% of the OE SO-2....

the bigger the wheel, the more sensitive the car....and shortcomings are more amplified.....

this has been MY experience in the past.

doug?
