I like points brought up in this video:
, as argumenting against going overboard with stiffening up suspension/tires. Not everybody is pro to deal with such setups well, and fun driving on public roads and track, not on 10/10 limit in controlled track environment, might be good case of using such softer sidewall tires. |
100% agreed.
Although that makes me wish I would have saved longer and gotten the Online coilovers instead of the T0s that I have. The stock suspension wasn't stiff enough, even with stock tires I was bottoming it out on hard corners and when it went over irregularities in the pavement the cars reaction was down right jarring. So, I went with TOs as one of the softest sprung kits out there. But with sufficient travel and spring rate to make those transitions smooth and controllable. With the PSSs, it was just too stiff for our roads and my driving. Hopefully something like the DW will be better suited. If not, well, I'll try something else in two years.

I've thought of 16s. A few times. I might end up going that way, but for now I'd rather not spend money on rims. I'm on the stock rims and I like the look, and the weight is fine. But if the DWs or the sports don't do it, that might be a better way ahead for what I'm looking for, than all seasons. I'll have to roll that one around in my brain pan for a while.
