Furthermore, how firm the sidewall is has a much greater impact on how the car handles, amount of sidewall deflection, how quickly the car turns in. For example, Formula 1 cars run these super thick sidewalled F1 tires and these cars probably turn in sharper and handle better than any other cars on the planet.
Sounds good, thanks. I like the 18/19 wheels the most out of all the options so that is what I will get.
