yah, i read it... thats y i was surprise...

 

but after a 2nd tot, the author was actually playing around with the air pressure. Given the same situation, if the narrower tyre was inflated to the same "shape" as the wider tyre, then, a wider tyre will have a bigger contact to the surface alrd...

My stock tyre size is 205/45/16. I am thinking of changing to smaller rims with 195/55/15 tyres to improve comfort & increase $$$ in my wallet as 15" tyres are cheaper and lighter. Never before in my life I changed rims to the smaller size ones. In all my previous rides, I only increase the size and width of the tyres.

 

Any bros here change tyres to narrower ones before? will it have much ill-effect on the car's handling??

 

Thanks.

I do not budget to change the rims, just tire only since two of them quite worn
