What's the *performance* difference between 15 inch, 16 inch and 17 inch tires (all else being equal)?
Let's say that the stock wheel is 16 inch and let's ignore sheer looks, and the fact the speedometer will read differently, and let's ignore obvious non-performance wheel-well fitment issue since they're obviously not performance changes.
What *performance* changes will the one inch larger or smaller tire cause?
Basically, I'm wondering why people almost universally want larger wheels, where all I'm asking about are what the performance tradeoffs are.
