Id have to disagree there, in my opinion it is possible to "over tyre" a
car, and increase your rolling resistance, which means there is more
friction on the road, so you are wasting some power. On a humble old 1500 i
wouldnt bother with anything larger than 185s, 195s in the extreme. A 1600
should be fine on 195s.
But im no expert....
