yeah

big tires look macho i suppose but i have always regretted it when i have gone bigger than stock. the steering is crisper and the ride and handling is better with stock. if you are gong for a big number on a skidpad a big wide stticky tire is good but in real world driving i like to use what the car was designed for.
