your also forgetting, even if the 17" weighs EXACTLY the same as the 15, the diamter is exactly the same, the traction is exactly the same, you will still have a slight advantage with the 15". because the weight is more concentrated towards the center of the rim on the 15". the majority of the weight is farther out on a 17", making it harder to turn, not much of a difference, but it helps

I Don't Get It Either......I think my stock tires have little traction (you should see me sliding around in the snow with my no ABS, no traction control alero)
17's could be lighter, and wheel weight makes a BIG difference.

there's NO way...GAGT's stock tires are 225's and that's the whole argument behind their 125+ speed limiter cuz they come stock w/ higher speed rated tires where the Alero stock 215's are lower speed rating so thats y we top out at 108ish.

My old 17's weighed a ton, but I believe the tire did make a big difference.....oh well, I beat that old time now anyway
