Most cars do it to look cool. It supposed to look "more aggressive"
Some designs even have a rake built into the body so the car looks like it has a rake to it when it is level.
195/65/15 Cooper CS3.
I think I've decided on 185/65/15 up front and 175/65/15 in the rear. Only a 2% difference which should work and will let me reduce my rolling coefficient how I want to. Think load support is unchanged, but lateral grip is decreased. For the most part its not a race car so I'll accept it.
Ill go from 6.2" tread width dry rotted non LRR tires front and rear to: 5.6" & 5.2" combo front and rear that Is LRR. So It should give me the double bonus of a better compound and narrower width. Also OEM speedometers are 2% faster than normal so It will put it back to spot on.
