Its probably more the reduced sidewall height than the slightly wider width. Having that much less sidewall to flex and roll over in corners makes a big difference in overall stability.

Just ordered the spare wheel. Ordered another tire as well, so I'll be posting my ad soon for five practically brand new 18 wheels (1700 miles) and one that sat in my trunk and never touched the ground for cheap! Even cheaper if you are local and can pick up. Or if you want just four, I'll do that as well.

Very nice wheels with a finish that wasn't found on the first gen car: Hyper Black or Hyper Silver.

As soon as I have time to unpack them from their mummified plastic-wrap state, I'll take pictures.
