maybe i;m missing something.
the old tire tread was 7.5 inches wide.
the new tire tread is 6.1 inches wide.
Even IF it was 'ballooning 1 inch (which it not) you would still have a lower profile.
But besides that, the aerodynamic effecy would be, just a guess, .00001.
My only concern is that the new tire is actually a little smaller, 25 inches in diameter as opposed to 25.1 inches. So you will see a slightly higher rpm when cruising. (slightly)
But u have reduced the weight by 9lbs a tire and reduced the width by 1 inch. Surely you cant think that a slight 'ballooning' overcomes the other two very LARGE advantages?
