wider tires = more grip. but... I'm not a fan of the Kumho 712s.

I have heard if go to big you can put more miles on the car.Say if before bigger tires/wheels some place can be 10 miles after new tires/wheels can be 20 miles or something like that is any truth in this and how big of a change for this to happen

aaaaaaaah thats wrong
IF YOU HAVE A LARGER DIAMETER WHEEL ON YOUR CAR YES IT WILL THROW OFF YOUR SPEEDOMETER, BY READING LESS MILES. NOW IF YOU HAVE LITTLE WHEELS AS IN LIKE 225/40 18 IT WILL BE LIGHTER AND YOULL BE PUTTING MANY MILES ON YOUR CAR. A SMALLER WHEEL HAS A SMALLER OVERALL DIAMETER. THATS THE REASON WHY THEY PUT SMALLER PULLEYS ON A SUPERCHARGER TO GET MORE BOOST RIGHT TO SPIN THE LARGER PULLEY MANY MORE TIMES.
