i read that r&t story...kinda weird though...they didn't use the same tires and same rims...they had different design rims with different line/brand tires. wonder why? if they'd really wanna to c just the diff in size..shouldn't they keep everything the same?

anyway, i had 16" pilot hx and switched those to 17" pzeros, and i can say there's a huge difference in performance. ride was stiffer, turns in crisper, the inside tire doesn't light up as easily coming off corners/turns. then i switched it to 16" pilot alpins for ski trips and boy, it's a huge diff. i know i know, the snow tires are squirmy to start with...but still.
