...make a difference in DRY handeling? This weekend I was noticing my crappy potenzas screeching around hard corners. I'm wondering if I get better tires in the same size as the OEMs if it will impact my dry weather performance?

If so, by a lot? Or do I just need new wider rims with wider tires?

Thanks.

 

you could get wider rims which will enhance handling but replacing the stock tires was a night and day difference for me. i have had the stock rims but am about to swap to a lighter rim but still staying with either 7 or 7.5".

 

yes.

 

Better tires will ALWAYS make a difference, regardless of whether you get wider wheels or not.
