Three years ago, I experimented with used larger wheels/tires on two cars, both receiving tires, 30MM wider & 2 inches taller. On both cars steering & handling became wonderful. The small car (with low-geared transmission), now has lower rpms at the same speed & really feels like a larger car. Both cars feel good AND provide increased MPG. However, the large tires on both cars are close to the mudflaps & wheel wells, so have no room for snow chains. In regions of snowy, hard winters, snow wheel/tire changes would be necessary.
