If you have low gearing, taller AND skinnier tires are better than smaller skinnier ones. if you run 3k at 60, smaller and skinnier won't help as much. it's bandaid for low gearing. If you lower (or have lowered) your vehicle, it will be good to compensate for the taller-ness, then taller would be the way to go I'm thinking.
