Message Yes, believe it or not..the narrower tires have alot more sidewall flex when launcing an have alot better bite than my 18 inch 275/35s....sounds weird but check out all the drag racing videos..there's a reason guys put their stock wheels on to drag race...

Or even more so,have you ever seen a Top Fuel Dragster's rear wheel sidewalls flex when launching? It's the same principal...The car just launches better and hooks up better but does'nt corner better...

Oh yeah,I have the rears set at about 23psi,so I guess that helps too..

The O Ring sidewall on the 18s does not flex at all and it's definitely noticeable when pushing it in 1st and 2nd gear.
