What is the benefit of a higher pressure relative to tire width?


@ Wayno


I suspect that your 225/50/16s handle pretty much like stock as far as tire flexing on tarmac, etc? Minor differences perhaps but nothing more?
Stock 17" or stock 16"? The stock 17 are super heavy and rubbish. I swapped then out for 16" within a week.

225 are 1-2kg heavier than the 205. Less nimble, harsher. Far more grip of course because of the compound.

Everything is a trade off, can't say one setup is better than another for all occasions.
