[QUOTE="Pacific Wheel, post: 1440540, member: 20319"] That right there sums it up. On smaller sidewall tires the wheel wheel plays a bigger role in performance. On my old STI, RPF1's with 265/35 series made a noticeable difference. But since the tread is so far away from the wheel when you have 35's on 17's that the only real way to see a difference in performance is to get a light weight tire. And not many are lighter than the BFG's. I've had 6-7 sets of wheels on my truck ranging from 22lbs up to 33lbs and haven't seen a difference from one to another. But going from a 65lb BFG to an 80lb Toyo MT MPG's went down and the truck was a little more sluggish off the line. [/QUOTE]
