yeah, but is it enough to warrant spending some bank on different rims?
I've always ran something like 225 in the front and 245 on the rear but that is because the 245 is what "fits" on the rim. I like the response from the 225 on the front. they are stretched just a touch. I just don't know if it would be worth spending money on another set of rims to accomplish that, ya know?
