Just out of curiosity ?
What does it do to your power curve climbing hills and torque delivery
fighting head winds with 15" tires?.
I had a set of low profile tires for about 2000 miles and it improved
acceleration, made the van corner like a sports car and my speedometer
registered 85 mph at 60 mph true speed.
I was happy to get back to good stock size Agilis 61s.
