- A question that probably shows just how far out of the mainstream I really am ... Is there any performance advantage with the 20" - 24" wheels and tires ? These things are huge !! Massive wheels and

- Just a quick reply as it is off topic... Lower aspect ratio tires (the second number in the tire size figures, like 185/60) mean that the tires have a shorter sidewall height in relation to the tread
