this is all in the FAQ... how about reading that?
go to the top of the forum and click on the FAQ thread, then look down for the discussion on tires. There are literally pages and pages arguing both sides. Nothing has changed in the nature of "tire-building" or the natural laws of physics so there's really no more to say here that wasn't already discussed there.

I got a quick question...does the tire wall size go up at all from a 225/40 -18 to a 245/40 -18?? My wheels look too small on my ride, so I'm going wider (225 to 245) but now I'm wondering if I should go for a 245/45 -18 series. Any thoughts? Oh, and will that affect my speedo a whole ton (I know this is probably all listed in the FAQ, but it's a pain reading through all that!)
