Just skip to 7:20.
That is where they show a performance comparison on a track.

Best motoring gets a big fat fail.
Try again with tires of equal width and I'll be satisfied.

I don't think i would go above 18's personally. For financial and practicality reasons.

I'm more interested in the in-depth detail about the technical improvements in the construction of the newer tires and wheels. The road test is a waste of time and only affirms what everyone already knows.. wider tires offer more grip and bigger wheels give you a harsher ride.

Was that a fair comparison? The 19" rims in rear had 1" more width than the 18", and has better offset :S
