So, yesterday I took off my winter 15s and put on my summer 17s. The 17s definitely require more effort to steer and make things feel more lethargic. Maybe I am being overly sensitive ...but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

 

I took the winter shoes off the MINI Tuesday. The acceleration seems the same to me, but oh man are those things stiff & they are 16's. The handling is much better, but that is a combination of performance tires & tightening the rear swaybar up. Did I mention they are STIFF? Yikes!
