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 thought the same thing too,

No kidding, what an absolute waste of time. This "comparison" has about as much value as 19" tires are good on track...

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.

tho it was faster with the 19 I'm sure a lot of people will never track with 19 inch tire/wheel combo

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