help me with a tire-size question
This ones about the diameter
15'' 16'' 17'' 18''
here's my question...
lowering springs are popular and, on a MINI, for good reason. Lowering 2700lbs by an inch is HUGE!
but why does it seem that larger tires are better? why get 17's instead of 15's? 2 inches higher?!
Just give me the advantages/reasoning for 15's and 17's.
Ive only ridden mine with 16's(came with) so i have no exp to answer this question by myself so please forgive me.
Thanks much, my fellow MINI maniacs!
