different strokes for different folks.

i have not driven a 140 with 35s so i cant comment on that.

i did drive a dodge magnum with very low profile tires though. at least 18s. i didnt like the way it steered. i didnt try for spirited cornering so i have no idea about that.

i know for sure that i wont pay extra for ultra low profile tires and at the same time increase the chance of popping one on a chuckhole at the same time.

on my 500sec, i have run the stock 14s and aftermarket 15s with lower profile tires. the 14s ride better imho. i put the 15s on the heavier sdl and it seems happy with them. i think that the 15s are a little heavier 5 # maybe per tire wheel combo.
