I guess there is always a trade off.

which is why I always go for Nokian's newest factory studded tires for winter.

but would like to go with a set of aftermarket wheels for summer for the new car.

I don’t go sidewall max either, I kinda go 2/3 between mfr specs and sidewall safety reasons; I put used tires on my beater, and the date codes don’t inspire me with confidence. It makes a difference, though.

What’s your summer driving like? Look for a svelte weight combo for fun times, more sidewall for ride, aero for MPG.
