That double claim of larger diameter (for lower RR) and narrower width (for drag reduction) has come up before in our debates, but maybe without resolution. So it is great to see confirmation from a manufacturer. The i3 tires drew all of our attention. But the claim here, by Bridgestone of increased wet weather traction is new. Anyone believe that?
