im not going to get into a pissing contest with you on someone else's thread, but your wrong.

it doesnt matter how much larger or smaller of a diameter the tires is over stock, my post had nothing to do with either of those in comparison to amount of extra energy spent vs rolling resistance.
I thought it was pretty much common sense, and everyone else seemed to get it, so my guess is think more about it before you post.
